I love love love School House Rock videos and I often use the old school grammar ones in my ESL classes. I'm so happy to see this little revival about to take place. I think the Easter Bunny may have to add this one to d's basket :D

Come on down....

One more persons clothes means more laundry! So we have been looking to get a new washer and dryer since before Christmas. We finally ordered a duo yesterday! WOOHOO! The washer /dryer we have now is the stackable sort. So it doesn't hold a whole lot. We will be looking to sell this soon if anyone is looking lol

When MIL saw me yesterday she proudly exclaimed I had a beautiful glow about me (referring to me being pregnant), I immediately corrected her and told her I was glowing because I am the proud new owner of a front loading washer and dryer hehehe We had to pay for the set of course, but I still imagine this is how the winners on the Price is Right feel lol I will certainly be doing some escatic jumping up and down once the new appliances are set up in our house lol

We went with a front loading energy star / HE set by Kenmore from Sears. Not sure if this link will work but it's on the front of this flyer. I can't wait to see how much of a reduction we have in the number of loads I do and our energy bill! Having an HE washer / dryer also makes using cloth diaper more environmentally friendly too!!! The new duo should be here around the middle of April. So we are arranging to have it delivered with the nursery furniture.

Buyers beware... do your research most all new style washers / dryers are actually HE (high effiency) even though only a select few use HE in the branding / product name. The energy usage among them all is very similar. It's amazing how they take these terms like "he" and are able to stick them in peoples brains to get them to spend more money. Energy star seems to be the more well rounded label. If you pull out the tray where the soap goes on most of these washer you will see the little HE logo there.

Saturday is "Earth Hour"

Don't forget Saturday March 28th 830pm- 930pm is EARTH HOUR!!!





Not only is this a great way to support a great cause... but it can be a lot of fun! Kids love hanging out in the dark with their flashlights etc. I have a few ideas planned for our 2nd Earth Hour. We will make some snacks in advance and D got this cute Thomas book from santa that has a projector to go along with the stories. So it will be a great opportunity to read some of those. I've also been looking up some links and idea's for shadow puppets.

Here are some links I found so far:
