first installation.

As I unpacked yesterday and put away fresh laundry, I found Hazel creating an installation with the hangers I had laid out on our bedroom floor.  I was able to catch the very end on video...

We just finished our first family of three vacation.  We spent a few days in Sheboygan, WI at the Blue Harbor Resort.  What a great time we had exploring Sheboygan and all it had to offer.

Hazel just loved Lake Michigan and playing with her toys in the sand.  Our resort had a pretty decent beach, but the beach at Kohler-Andrae State Park was incredible.

After spending our days at the beach, we would return to the water at Blue Harbor's indoor waterpark.  I have never seen anything like it!  There was water everywhere and Hazel was totally into it.

    

We did do some dry activities and explore the town of Sheboygan.  We stopped at the Book Worm Gardens and loved it so much we ended up visiting twice.  The different gardens were all based on children's books and the books were available by each garden to read.  Such a great place!

We even found a brick oven pizza place to try one night for dinner!  Hazel sported pigtails for the first time! 

 

Overall, it was a wonderful getaway and I hope we can return soon!

laundry remix.

Unfortunately, our washer and dryer were on their way out.  The washer began ruining clothes and it was a gamble each time we did a load.  We finally bit the bullet and got a new washer and dryer.  We also, took this opportunity to do some cleaning and updating.  Our laundry closet got a new floor (the extra flooring from our bathroom redo) and the walls received a fresh coat of paint!  We were amazed (but not surprised) at how dirty the closet was once we pulled out the machines. YUCK!

That is one DIRTY floor!
