Um, Liv, if you're reading this, I have some bad news. We suffered a slight bit of flooding this weekend due to the aforementioned blog entry entitled "Aloha". We lost about 1/4 of the carpet in Liv's room, luckily I put in the stick down squares so we were able to just pull up the wet ones and can replace them with new ones. I did not panic or freak out, you would have been so proud of me. I was very zen about it, especially after watching the news on Sunday and realizing that we got away with very little damage compared to so many other people. The rain was freaky though, it never stopped all night, most of the rivers here in the great northwest jumped their banks and lots of people lost everything. Mike and I were out in the midst of it checking gutters and putting down tarps around the house. We had to end up stapling a big blue tarp to the south side of the house and sloping it down like a tent to direct the water away from the foundation, so far so good.
We stayed hunkered down for the weekend and watched the rain come down in sheets. It was cozy. Grace and I have almost managed to beat Donkey Kong Country Returns but that last boss is a real beezy. We watched a lot of TV, cleaned house, read, and cooked...my ideal weekend, I never got out of my sweats, I even slept in them. Ahh. I even finished wrapping all the presents I have bought so far, that's a big deal as I'm usually up until 3:00 a.m. on Christmas Eve finishing up. Not this year!
Picking up Liv tomorrow night at 7:00 and then Sam is off to visit Kourtnie and Trevor in El Paso on Wednesday morning, she'll be gone for a week and is sooo excited, it's Trevor's 2nd birthday already. Crazy.
