FHE in the bathroom



So I bet not many of you have ever had FHE in the bathroom.....
The past few weeks the kids have been complaining that their toilet upstairs has not been working to its potential. Meaning it was not flushing everything it is meant to flush. Nate and I decided before calling a plumber we would try to fix it ourselves while at the same time have a teaching moment with the kids. Jane started us off with a prayer blessing that dad would not get mad and that he would be able to fix the toilet. All six of us sat on the floor, shower, and counter top while waiting patiently (yea right) for instructions from dad on what tool he needed next. We tried to divert our eyes from the nice plumbers crack he displayed. Sadly, the part he replaced was not the problem. We then came to terms that a plumber would have to be called.

$90.00 later here is what he found. Darn pencil. It had been wrapping itself up with the TP that came down creating a nice little clog. Who puts a pencil in the toilet????? We finished the night off with ice cream and hot fudge. A FHE to remember.

SURPRISE!


So, Jake's 1st season of playing high school basketball has ended........one less thing to do. He had a great time and has hopefully learned a few things from the experience. We are proud of him and hope to see him working extra hard to make the team next year! At the end of the season the cheerleaders kidnap the team and take them all to breakfast.......did I mention they first dress them up like girls??? Jake was not too happy to miss out on his one day to sleep in ......good times! Gotta love that shirt!

Talent 2010......



This year for the school talent show Avery showcased his piano skills.....he's been playing for 6 months. We heard a wonderful rendition of "Hey Diddle Diddle" and "Ten Little Indians". He did our family proud. Jane participated with a lot of the 5th grade class in a disco dance to "Night Fever". We are just full of talent in our home.....good times, good times.
