Maddox met my best friend, the funnel cake.

the other shoe just fell...

We've gotten pretty settled into the new house. I was completely caught up on laundry, had a cleaning schedule down, and was planning to go through a few random boxes in the basement and organize all the Christmas decorations and already purchased gifts. I went down to the basement to get a chicken out of the freezer, and found the boys' toys floating and bouncing against the walls. Maddox thought we had a big pool down there, not so much.
I called Travis in a complete panic, couldn't get in touch with him, ran to the neighbor's house to see if they had a shop vac, which they didn not have, but found out he is a plumber! SWEET!!!! He came back to the house with me, found the source of the water, dead sump pump, and told me it was an easy fix. All that was great, what made it better, is Travis got my frantic messages and was able to take an extended lunch and come home. I love living 10 minutes from his office!!!! We went to Home Depot and were back home in time for him to go to work and the 2 little kids to go down for naps. The neighbor came back and had the new pump installed and working before the older 2 got home from school. All in all, the crisis was averted! Now I just have to keep using the squeegy to get the water out of the boys' toy area, the freezer area, and the storage area.... Such is the life of a home owner.

The cardboard boxes hold Travis's Cisco books, I think he cried a little bringing those soggy, heavy books upstairs.

Serving and protecting!

I have the best little heroes to protect me while Travis is at work and the older boys are at school. Now, if only I can get these heroes to pick up their toys, play nicely, and take good naps my life would be perfect.

Family room finished!!!!

We have blinds and drapes hung! I have an empty fire place hearth! I'm so excited. Now, we just need fireplace doors, tools, and wood.
