....We're going to Se*ars!  Yes, we made it a family affair and went to Se*ars to buy a new dryer!  Aside from both girls acting like they'd been locked inside for weeks and Rachel announcing in a loud, clear voice, "Mommy, I have to poop," the purchase was quick and painless.  We even get to benefit from two different rebates, so it didn't make as big of a dent in our wallet as we might have expected.  Our new dryer will arrive on Tuesday.  AMEN to that!  Every bedroom has a mountain of dirty clothes and I think we're down to our last handful of towels.  We had stinky, wet pool towels left in the laundry room, so I had to wash them tonight to get the smell out (such a foul odor, I really thought I was going to puke).  Tomorrow I'll have to either resort to the laundromat (the kids would probably get a kick out of it) or creative hanging techniques.  We'll see...

Hope everyone had a fabulous week-end.  In addition to the fun at the dryer store, we went to church, went out for brunch, let the girls play at the mall, and made indoor s'mores!  We even went to our pool two times.  Rachel is turning into quite a fish.  I need to get an underwater camera to capture her swimming toward me, skimming the bottom of the pool with a big smile on her face.  She has an excellent backstroke and is starting to swim longer lengths.  Lauren surprised me by having a longer attention span at the pool, clinging to Daddy for once (and boy, did he love it!), and by doing a 'pencil dive'. 

It's late, so you'll have to tune in again soon when I describe my run-in with the Kir*by guy!
