4 years!

We have been in our house for 4 years now as of Labor Day weekend! And what better way to celebrate that than on Sunday morning after we all had gotten ready for church and I had pulled the last kid from the bath and was drying them we hear our toilets and all the sinks in our house start to bubble....

That's right for all of you who don't have city water you know this means our septic tank was backing up into the house LOVELY!!! Thankfully it was just bubbling and not actually coming into the house so we immediately stopped using all water in the house. A call the septic people told us that because it was a holiday weekend that would cost us at least 100 dollars more than if we waited till Tuesday so my parents said we could just use their house till then. I LOVE living so close to them <3 

In order to keep Caden and Casey from using the bathroom I had to lock the door and they found it a lot of fun to run over to Grandma and Grandpa's side to go potty all day long. Also we were gone for most of Sunday which was good because I would not have liked to be in a house that I can't use the water in the dishes drive me nuts I ended up taking them over to moms so I could wash them. Sunday though we went to church and then to Jeni and Jarrad's for some food, pool time, fun and of course we had to talk about the baby shower which we now have the invites ordered and a whole lotta ideas for. Monday was Labor Day so we had the Fish Fry at church which was very fun and yummy. My mom had us over for breakfast so I didn't have to worry about dishes or anything for that :)

Really it wasn't that bad except we had to cancel going to a friends house for a play date that we were really looking forward to today because of waiting for the septic people to get here but even that ended up being alright because Caden woke up this morning with a very stuffy nose and a fever so I was able to have already given our friends a heads up that we weren't gonna be there instead of cancelling at the last minute.

The kids really enjoyed watching the whole ordeal this morning by the way the whole pumping of the tank and all that gross stuff through the bedroom window and the men that did it enjoyed having the kids watch they talked to them the whole time it was very cute. Casey waved and yelled "Thank you!!! Now our potty's don't bubble anymore!" when they were leaving LOL
