HOLY BALLS!

How many of you know what a lid switch is for your washing maching??? 
Well.... I didn't, but I do now!  :-)
I called for an estimate on service and it was going to be $40 for the part, plus $75 for them to come out.
I decided to do it!  That's right, ME. 
I looked up the part number (thank you internet)
and watched a couple YouTube videos
 (no way I could have done it without guidance!)

This is the inside of a washing machine

CraZy ugh? I thought it was! 
Tracey asked me NOT to do this while she was home... and I didn't! 


This is a picture of the BROKEN lid switch.



Where the lid switch is - it switches your machine - fill up - wash - spin - rinse, ect.. It's a necessary part!


The most difficult part was getting the casing BACK on.
It works and I don't need to click the "switch" with a screw driver!!!  

I'm without a doubt SUPER PROUD of my capabilities!!
Who knew I could be so handy? 
I will one day get to use a sledge hammer..may not be tomorrow,
but someday!  lol..lol..

Trimming the Tree!


We started decorating a little early this year, and have been BUSY! 
Kids are SUPER excited about Santa and they are counting the days until he comes. 
It's awesome to see them so happy and excited. 
Their happiness and joy makes it easier for me to get through the moments that I'm missing my mom. 

Here are those moments that make me smile! 



 Delaney asked Santa for diapers and Joel asked for a telescope!

 Summit snuggling on a Santa pillow!


Visited Granny on Thanksgiving... too cute!

 Yummy candy canes from the BIG GUY! 


Playing with our Christmas train!  Human bridges/tunnels!
More to come soon!  :-) 
Hope everyone is almost done shopping and enjoying the holiday season!
