Our Holidays and Our Flood! AHH!

We got to dog sit for some excellent friends of ours! Sadie is the beagle mix and Cona is the smaller doggie. They came over for a week and spent Christmas with us too. It was fun!..and a FULL house. 7 animals all at once!










Our Christmas was very nice and lazy..




It just SNOWED..lots and lots



We were thrilled to have my cuz Eve & her husband Brad join us for Christmas dinner!



They almost got snowed in...not that we would've minded having them. =) We had a such a fabulous time with them!



Kingston and Hoku's cuz Gus Gus came to visit New Years Eve! We played games with Aunt Elaine and Uncle Jim, Eve's parents, New Years Eve. It was SO FUN! We enjoyed every second.


It all started when....I finished giving Kingston a hair cut and bathing the dogs. I realized, I needed to make sure to wash they're doggie beds before I feel asleep. Around 12:30a.m. I remembered!

So here I am minding my own dreams, about 1:00a.m., when I wake up and think, "I better put the doggie beds in the dryer, so they can use them while we are at work"...then it kinda went like this...



Me: "AHHH!!! EMIL!!! There's water everywhere!!"
Emil: "What?!?"
Me: "Something w/ the washer...is loose..!"
Emil: ..he looks around and as he's walking notices the carpet is SOAKING wet.. "TOWELS!!" ..he shouts..
Me: ..laughing and grabbing every towel known to man/our little house.. "Alright!"
Emil: ..laughing with me.. "What the heck?! What can ya do? Just laugh I guess.."
Me: ..laughing more.. "I know it! This is crAZy SauCE man!"





Emil: "I wonder if the Kirby has a hook-up for something like this.."
Me: ..Thinking: I'm grateful he's listening to the Spirit! I love him so much...
Emil: ..getting the Kirby vacuum ready..AND it's working.. "Look Carrie!" =D
Me: "AWESOME BABE!! Good thinking!"
Emil: "It wasn't me, it was the Spirit." ..smiling at me..
Me: "I love you..this is CRAZY!" ..us both laughing..
Kingston and Hoku: "What the...?!?! We just took a bath! NOOO!!!" ..they don't like the weekly bath they get..



In case you didn't know, this flood JUST HAPPENED...Emil, as I type, is still using the Kirby to suck up the water..and it's kinda giving our carpet a shampoo too! HA! We figured out that when we had cleaned the filter the other day, the lid wasn't put back on tight enough..so when we started the washer, the water just came right back out! What a blessing that we have a KIRBY! What a blessing Emil listens to the Spirit. What a blessing...our carpet is getting cleaned. =)We won't know the complete damages for a bit..but, hopefully if it gets dry, it'll be alright. What an adventure!! BAAHHH!! LOL!
