Disneyland, flooded basements and in general, life passing me by

This one's for you Lori. It has come to my attention that I have been neglecting my blog. It's not that I don't have things to blog about it's just when I think I have a second to sit down and come up with something clever to say the phone rings or a diaper needs changing or someone is hungry or thirsty or a fight breaks out and boys need to be sent to their respective corners. The past couple months have been a little crazy. It all started with plans to go to Disneyland at the end of March. I casually asked my brothers and sister if they wanted to tag along and before I knew it I turned into a travel agent extraordinaire researching and booking hotels, flights and rental cars. The week before we were supposed to leave I was up late working on finalizing our plans. I looked at the sink at thought to myself how nice it would be to wake up in the morning to absolutely no dishes in the sink(something that rarely happens). So I loaded up the last of the dishes turned on the dishwasher and went to bed feeling like I had accomplished something. The next day Andy came up the stairs and said, "Mom, there is a bubble in the ceiling." I ran down the stairs to find my basement ceiling sagging and very wet carpet. After some investigating I figured out that the hose that leads from the dishwasher to the disposal had come loose and had sprayed water under the sink all night eventually finding it's way to the basement all though not before warping my beautiful wood floors. We managed to get everything dried out and cleaned up before I hosted a baby shower for my friend Jana the following weekend and then packed up the day after the shower and headed for sunny California. Whew!






We had a great time with all of the cousins and loved being in 70 degree weather. Can I just say I love Disneyland. We even managed to get through the entire vacation without loosing Luke.
