When your having fun. That must be what I do everyday because before I know it it's Thursday already. This was such a fun and busy holiday weekend/week. We had waterslide fun, BBQs, swimming, fireworks and we can't forget the waste Steve was up to his elbows in.
We went into the weekend with a bang! It started Wed night when Mitchell came up from the basement with his excited I need to show you something look and was wet. Crap! Downstairs Grace was sticking marble run peices into a recently flushed toilet. I mopped up the mess and cleaned out the toilet and locked the door on my way out. Flash forward to Saturday afternoon and Mitchell has found his way into the crawlspace. Steve opens up the furnace room door to see water on the floor and realizes the ejector pump is not working. Here's where the waste come in. Steve has to scoop out the water sitting on top of the pump before opening to see what's inside. I said it should bs clean water since I locked the bathroom door Wed night no biggy right? Ha! Guess who used the bathroom since then? At least it was his own he was sifting through. We called the plumber, purchased a new ejector pump and removed 5 marble run peices from the motor. Pump is saved until Steve & plumber are talking and old but working falls over & the pipe cracks. So we are keeping the new one.
Next came the pool party that was going great and then Mitchell decided he no longer wanted to wear anything. Always a good laugh. We brought the waterslide to party #2 so Mitchell kept running into the house and laying on everyone's pillows all wet and Grace harassed the dog. Steven actually stayed late with Steve for fireworks which was a first. Oh and I almost forgot When I was packing our bag to leave Mitchell crawled under the fence to get out to the front yard. Luckily there was a gate right there because I'm not in good enough shape to be hopping fences. Unbelievably all the kids went to bed during fireworks in the neighborhood and slept through them.
