About that Week the other week!

In the middle of having computer issues week before last- we also had several issues going on at home. We had our carpets cleaned- simple enough task- yet for us it always manages to become a bigger issue. I've known for a few weeks we were doing it so I've spent the time slowly going through the house and using it as motivation to clean and purge. We have A LOT of toys and they tend to multiply while we sleep. Sorting toys took a weekend alone and I'm afraid in the end, many ended up in containers in the girls' bedroom since it has hardwood floors- still to be sorted.
The carpet cleaning went great the day of- we spent the day out of the house running errands with grandma (who also had her carpets cleaned) and going to the library.Our masks we made at the library! Everything was going well until... it got really humid. Ugh! The carpet didn't dry right. Within a couple days we realized that we had a problem (and thankfully I hadn't put the house back together yet). The carpet man was really nice, came back out with industrial fans and dehumidifiers and treated the carpet. Because of this we had to be out of the house for the night- can you say sleepover at grammie and grandpa's???
Off the girls and I went to stay the night there- Rick stayed home since we had the fans running all night and we didn't want to have the house empty. The girls loved the sleepover and helping out at grammies house. What a treat!The next morning however another issue arose- this time at grammie and grandpa's... the girls appear to be hanging out in the backyard at grammies~ but what are they really watching?Hmmmm....that looks like a big pile of dirt in the backyard...Oh look- it's Ray the plumber! he's digging a HUGE hole in the backyard!Yep- my parents couldn't ignore their plumbing any longer and found out that a large root got the best of their pipes. The girls loved watching all the goings on and Ashley got a front row seat to watch the TV hooked up to the camera that went through the pipes. As the project got more involved however- I decided it was best to take my 3 busy bodies out of the way- so off to the gagoon we went for a couple hours.It was overcast and chilly- but we still had a fun time!

Phew! So that was our marathon week 2 weeks ago! Now on to catch up with the goings-on of this past week and reveal the location of my Favorite Foto from Friday! :)
