Almost too pretty too use

In a house with three boys and two dogs you need a heavy duty vacuum to handle all of the dirt, and hair, and crumbs that make their way around the house. For over a year now my vacuum had been acting up. It wasn’t really getting everything up that it used to and then a few months ago it started spitting some of the dirt back out. Yes, it  did in fact shoot some of the dirt and crud back out onto the floor! When we bought it, it was the top of the line. Dyson 7 Animal.  That was 8 years ago. I don’t really know how long vacuums are supposed to last but we used the heck out of ours and well it was just time to retire the poor thing.

This past weekend this beauty made its way into our home.

Look at this perfectly clean tank. No hair. No dust bunnies. No dirt. Ah, well. We got picture for memories sake. 

This “ball” thing is really interesting, it makes the vacuum much lighter and easier to turn. But it takes some getting used to. Don’t worry, I got used to it real quick.

Watch out dirt, this thing is coming to get you.           She was almost too pretty too use. Almost.

ADDED: My dad texted me saying his house needs to be vacuumed. {Silly guy.}

How was your 4th?

Ours was low key.

Don’t let this smile fool you, he hadn’t slept in 2 nights and a few hours after this picture was taken we were sitting in Urgent Care. I thought perhaps he had some sort of virus in his throat or an ear infection because he refused to latch on to eat and he was screaming wildly. Of course when we saw the doctor he was all smiles again, lil buster.

But nope no virus or infection just a bad cold. In July.

We watched fireworks from our driveway.

Happy July.
