Dying Easter eggs with Willie
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Well, at 6:15 yesterday morning, Zachary went down to the basement to get some cereal for breakfast and this is what he found... again:
There was a little bit more water than last time, but almost everything on the floor was in tubs, and we are still cleaning up from last time, so hardly anything got damaged. We just kept reminding ourselves that we are very thankful to have a basement... even if it does flood sometimes. :)

Finishing the Dining Room
On the day before Easter, we put up the border in the Dining Room...
It didn't take too kindly to the idea...
The Dining Room
Painting
Even Zach and Lisa got to help!
Wallpapering
We only wallpapered one wall. It looks really nice.
We also put up a ceiling fan in between the family room and the kitchen.
The China Cabinet
We found this on Craigslist. It is so nice!
The boys hard at work.
Basement Adventure
We had some fairly minor basement flooding on the 6th. It was only about an inch or so of water - just enough to get everything wet. Zach and Lisa went down to the basement on an errand and came back up all excited because there was water all over the floor! Apparently the sump pump had a piece of plastic wrapped around the bobber which prevented it from tripping the pump on. We now have everything that is on the floor in tubs. :)
Entering the basement
drying out the wet boxes
Joe's 21st Birthday was on April 8th. We sent him a box of goodies. Don't you think it was very well labeled?
