Plumbing and Festivals

As most of you know we had some MAJOR plumbing issues last weekend. It was pretty bad. Thankfully it all started on Friday night while we were watching all the kids for babysitting co-op -hahahahaha - and we also had Tim and Stephanie over for dinner. Oh man, so many people and so much water letting loose in the basement.... Tim and Stephanie were really a big help for us while Brian had to pull away for a while and deal with MSD on some details. Well, the nice thing was that Brian had the whole weekend to fix it all. He is so gifted and handy in just about everything, so thankfully we didn't have to call a plumber. The issue started in our main drain to the sewer (tree roots). Brian had to rent an auger to clean it out and after he did he decided to go ahead and clean out our sink pipe that has been plugged on and off since we moved in.... well the pipe was old and just fell apart as he augered it. Soooo he had to dig up the kitchen sink pipe and replace it. 

Well, day 2 (Saturday) Me, Danielle and Marla decided to spend some time at a festival while our guys dug a hole. 



Pony rides!

Eli and Otto both painted pumpkins.
