Surprise Party

We had a wonderful weekend surprising mom with a 50th Birthday Party. Holly, Aunt Peggy, and Grandma all were able to come into town and celebrate with us. We had a great time with great food and guests. Mom enjoyed it very much!!

Row Row Row your Boat

Just thought I would share a funny that Eve did last night. Heidi was here and Eve started singing

Row, Row, Row your boat gently down the stream...
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is down the drain.

Heidi and I busted up laughing. I still chuckly when I start thinking about it. It was sooo funny. We told her the correct words and she would repeat it back to us, but when she went on singing again by her self, she would say "life is down the drain." Poor kid, I hope that's not what she really thinks about life.

HAS THIS HAPPENED TO YOU?!?!

Last week we had to replace our washing machine. I went into the laundry room and there was water coming out from under the machine. So I went looking and found a used appliance store in Winchester,Tn where my parents live. I was able to get a used washer for $150. The one that just broke was used when we bought it 10 years ago and we paid $75. I thought with inflation and hopefully another 10 years of servic that 150 was a good deal. So we didn't do laundry for about a day and a half plus we had all the towels and anything else I could grab to clean up the flooded laundry room added to mounting laundry pile. A few days later I received our water bill in the mail which was double what is normally is so we knew we had a leak. I ended up digging up the back yard and found the culprit pipe that had been flooding the yard and $ 5 later it was fixed. But again the water was turned off to the house for a day and no laundry got done. The results are the above photo. They are all clean and I'm just about caught up. But I HATE folding clothes. Chris is usually my folder, but I don't think this pile can wait for him. I will have to bite the bullet and put on a good movie tonight and get to folding. It is amazing how quickly laundry piles up for a family of 6. I hope there is no laundry in the eternaties.
