I let Sammy play with the pots and pans I keep below the oven and when I walked into the kitchen, this is what I found! My little boy had been so anxious to get every pot and pan out that he had climbed into the drawer himself! What a cutie!
This is also during the unloading of the toy box, but he finally found what he wanted - his other binkie that he likes better
Sammy unloading his "toy box" and having a great time
So we have had a tough week with our house. When we first moved in, there were quite a few things that were missing and/or broken that we had to fix right off the bat like missing light fixtures, a broken kitchen faucet, etc. But this week was the climax of things breaking down! First, our pipes froze and we had no water for a day and a half (Sat thru Sun). Then, the water pump stopped working, again leaving us with no water, but thankfully for only half a day (Mon). Next, the toilet in the smaller bathroom overflowed (Tues). And no, this was not just a little spill over, it was two inches of water on the floor, rugs floating and half the carpet in the hallway soaked clean through. Needless to say, it took alot of work to get up all the water and hopefully the carpet will be ok despite the soaking. Then, the furnace stopped working (Wed). At first, Robert thought it was the ignitor, so he removed it, finding out that it wasn't the ignitor, but that we were completely out of propane (even though it said we had 40% of a 250 gal. tank two weeks ago) so when he went to go put the ignitor back in, he broke it. So we looked all over the next day for a place to find a new ignitor....only to be told that we couldn't buy one ourselves because they are only sold to furnace contractors for some stupid reason. So, we spent $460 filling up the propane tank and $117 for the furnace guys to bring us an ignitor and put it in, which Robert could have done himself and saved us $75 and alot of hassel. Then, the power went out(Thurs)!!! Can you see my frustration level growing?! The worst part was the heat because we had to wait until the next day at noon before the propane came and the furnace guys came around 2:00, so we had no heat all night and all morning - talk about cold!! So the picture above is of Sammy being so cute and adorable despite the house being about 50 degrees!
