Easter and a Messy House!

The last couple weeks Jake and I have been sick with strep throat and sinus infections. It was so miserable. The body aches were TERRIBLE and we just haven't had any energy. The house has definitely suffered through all of the sickness. I began to realize though that I can clean and clean and there will always be dog hair and fingerprints on everything. I guess that's what happens when you have a dog and a toddler that likes to touch everything. 

We bought this brush to get a lot of hair, it is called the furminator and was $60 but is so worth it. Sequoia loves to be brushed. She will sit for an hour while I brush her. And looking at the next picture you can tell it gets A LOT of hair out. I plan on getting her shaved this summer. 


The day before I cleaned the stainless steel and they are now covered with baby handprints. O well!


We had a great Easter despite the gross weather. On Saturday we went to our neighborhood easter egg hunt. Kambree wasn't sure what to think about it all. Then on Sunday we let her find her basket by making a trail of eggs to lead her to it. She really liked this and ate way too much candy!


Sleepy eyes, but I had to show that Bree has enough hair to do pigtails now. 


             Our neighbor, Patrick, excited about finding eggs. 
        She couldn't stay standing, I think the coat was a little too big.

That trail of eggs is such a cute idea! I am glad you guys are feeling better.

I learned many years ago that "children" and "clean house" are oxymorons. :) One of my favorite sayings is, "Cleaning the house while the kids are growing is like shoveling snow while it's still snowing!"
