A busy May

May has been the month for buying all our new toys. First things first we got a new lawn mower and weed whacker.

We opted for this mower because it has a Honda Motor. My dad's always saying that Honda makes the best motors. Its a pretty nice mower. Dan wouldn't admit it on the video we took but he said he loved doing the yard. Even though he was originally mad that he bought himself work.

The we had to get a new vaccum cleaner. And when I say had to I mean it. In Wa our vaccum took a turn for the worse and then broke. So we went out and bought a little, I mean little Dirt Devil. It was great for the little apartment. You could vaccum twice without having to dump the canister. Well in the bigger house.... We had to dump the canister everytime and its really meant for little jobs anyway. So while we were out looking at washer and dryers one time we decided to take a look at the vaccums. I have wanted a Dyson now for a long time. While looking at them we see this other vaccum. Its called Halo. So since the kids are complaining that they want to leave we each grab a little flyer for it and start walking back to the car. It uses ultra violet light to kill bacteria, flu, dust mites, fleas, lice and mold amongst other things. I have to say given that Dan and I both suffer from allergies we were pretty sold on it. So when we got home we looked it and watched a video test that the local news down here performed and we were sold. I have to tell you I feel much better about our carpets now and while Dan thinks I am crazy the carpet feels a bit softer to me after I vaccum it.



Las t but surely not least we finally got our new washer and dryer. I LOVE them. And they are so pretty. We went with the Samsung in Tango Red. They are not the steam ones. We really didn't need the steam and to have it was a huge price jump. We were more concerned with the sanitize function which we do have. The washer also uses Silver Ions to do a cold water sanitze as well. We picked it up last Saturday and brought it home. But the washer didn't work. The cold water vavle didn't shut so as soon as we turned on the water the washer started to fill up. Monday a guy from the repair company came out and fixed it and I have been doing laundry ever since. Did I mention that I love it! At the end of the cycle the buzzer goes off and then it plays a little melody. It makes you want to go in and change the laundry. Its like its calling you. Its also pretty quite. With the laundry room off the kitchen I was affraid we would be hearing it. Once we close the door you hear a light hum and thats it.
