A Kirby vacuum cleaner salesman came by my house on Saturday. I was strong and didn't buy a vacuum. Instead, I got a clean floor and a free car vacuum (plugs into the car). I know some other people have had issues with rude sales people or sales people refusing to take a hint but the people that came by our house were extremely polite and professional.

My wonderful, fantabulous parents came up to see us this weekend. While my mom was at a conference on Saturday, my dad came over and finished most of the work on the treehouse (on stilts) he is building for the boys. Check out this amazing play area the boys now have...

I found him there when I went to check on him because the hand washing was taking too long.
