We needed a fun weekend because last week started off with a massive plumbing leak at my folks house. Water was running out of the ac return vent all day. At first I thought it must be the ac unit leaking. I was, of course, thinking this because I would rather die then call out the plumber. We use progressive plumbing and Terry is practically our friend because he's done so much work for us but that doesn't mean I get excited about calling him. Needless to say, after hauling my pregnant self up on my parents roof in the hundred degree heat, while on a conference call for work ( I had phone in one hand and wrench in the other) and pulling off two ac panels I was able to conclusively decide...I would schlep back down the ladder and call Terry because it was definitely a broken pipe. He came out several hours later and spent 2 hours putting our poor ceiling leak back to rights and it didn't cost us nearly as much as I was afraid it might! We even got the special customer discount!
Our buckets. We filled up 13 of these bad rides.
This is the vent. If you look close you can see the water.
So the weekend began with a delightful surprise on Friday night. We ended up going to this little place I've driven be for years but never tried, Something Sweet Dessert Lounge at speedway and craycroft. They only sell desserts and coffee/lots of tea. We had dinner at Brooklyn pizza first and then brought our settlers of catan board out for a little cake and coffee! It was such a fun time and the food was really good. For 4 of us it cost about 30 dollars total and we were able to hang out for several hours playing our game.
Saturday Ricky went to TX with Davis to see Bellevue HS get their pride destroyed by Katy HS in Houston TX. Bellevue is Davis's alma mater in Seattle.
Cody went dove hunting with the Hooks and shot like 15 dove! Woohoo! It made for a nice dinner on sunday. We had dove wrapped in bacon with macaroni and cheese.
I cleaned the house and went to the u of a game with our friends the Christiansens
Clair napped in her new room and we took a walk down University for new UA duds.
Clair loves to touch and notice things that have contrasting colors. This is a big example but she is fascinated by shirt emblems and bleacher numbers as well.
Yesterday we just hung around the house and I took a few hours to work on a quilt I've been trying to finish then youth group and bed...whooo
