Crazy Friday

Well, we had a pleasant morning.....I did a ton of Christmas crafts with Rose and Andrew. We had such a good time. I played a cd from their music class and they were singing along. It was just so picturesque.

Then our afternoon was not so wonderful. Water was pouring into our bathroom and master bedroom. Flooded the bathroom, part of the hall, part of the bedroom. Water was coming from the ceiling, the vent in the bathroom , the light fixture in my bedroom closet, the window in my bedroom and the wall and door frame to my bedroom. Talk about a mess! I called maintenance and they came and then figured out it was coming from 2 stories up! The kids were fascinated by this and I tried to keep them in kitchen. Andrew had gotten wet, so I washed him up, changed his clothes (tried to find some non pink clothes of Rose's:) and sanitized them both. I tried to pacify them by letting them watch tv in kitchen, but they was not thrilled by that. Then poor Andrew throws up. So he needed another change of clothes, another washing, and re-sanitized. This all happened so fast. I was running around like a crazy woman :o) Oh well.
I am not sure how to go about cleaning it up. (as they have have not showed up with wet vac yet) And I was already backed up in my laundry....and now I have to wash clothes that got wet in my closet. I guess I shouldn't complain....and concentrate on my blessings...in the whole scheme of things it is no big deal. I would rather be working on my Christmas to do list than this though. (We are leaving for Christmas Holiday a week from yesterday!) --- and will be gone for a month. ...sooo not ready yet. Although I love getting ready for Christmas.

Well, now I think I am just rambling on to avoid going back and working on the "flood" mess, so I guess I better get back into cleaning gear!

Wednesday's Field Trip...

(I know the pictures are blurry --I had to use my cell to take them.)

We went to ride the PINK PIG. It is some sort of Atlanta tradition that is new to me, but big down here. Anyways, it was very pink which I enjoyed...and it was corny yet fun and the kids had a ball. It was a little pig train ride thing.

We also visited Santa. Rose told him that she wanted a reindeer and Andrew said he wanted a monster truck.

We had a pleasant time at church, that helped erase some the stress that today's extraordinarily bad traffic had brought on.
Rose is so loving all the Christmas trees and decorations. It brings me joy watch her enjoy it so.

Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa's! Wednesday and Thursday we cooked and visited. Rose had a blast playing with her cousins. There was some new puppies to see, in addition to the goats.Grandma, Jen and I were crazy enough to do some Early morning Black Friday Shopping. Yes, it was crazy!

Saturday was Timothy's birthday party. Then we enjoyed visiting with family.

That night, Rose, Tori and Abby had a slumber party and they did their nails and make up and played with dolls. But when it was time to sleep....Rose came to mommy and daddy's room instead of staying in the girls' room.On the way home we were able to see friends in Lexington, George and Yoko.
