What a day!

What a day! We got our new sewing machine today...YAY! We are so excited and hope that we continue on with a new passion of ours...we ended up getting a better one then we could afford as it was half price and Gram wanted to kick in so.... we did it!
We also had to kill 4 hours, so first we went to the park where the baby had a beyond fabulous time. She thinks she can climb, slide, swing, seesaw and do just about anything she sees her sisters doing! Hello! She is only 9.5 months old! She fell over a little balance beam thing..she tipped over it and balanced there for a second while Sloan and I all but killed oursleves trying to catch her in time...but bam! Faceplant right into the (incredibly soft, padded new material parks use) ground! OUCH! Cried a bit but recovered.
The girls loved to get her under the "mister". A big umbrella where you push the button and mist flows out and cools you off. Kate loved it and screamed for more.
Now picture us, Mom and three girls plus one baby after the park for 2.5 hours in 90 degree weather and having been misted at least 10 times going into Joanne's Fabrics. We all had wild frizzy hair from the mister, black feet from kicking off our shoes and muddy faces from having wiped off the mist with dirty hands. Does the word HILLBILLY mean anything to you???
But they were forgiving. Thank goodness the kids are well behaved or my reasoning for our appearance would never have been believed.
And then the catastrophe...bottom toilet wouldn't flush and clog seems to be in main pipe...which means BIG FIX. Jeff was none to happy but we DO have a home warranty and we HOPE it will cover it. We won't know until tomorrow...His burden seems to heavy sometimes...
For tonight, going but no flushing. Lol This too shall pass. (no pun intended)
Kids seem wild. Sloan said it is like the electricity is off...I think we are just giddy over pretty much everything. They brushed their teeth outside with the hose so no more water would go down the drain. It was dark and I heard a general ruckus of laughing and squealing. "That was the most fun we've ever had brushing our teeth!" they exclaimed. Maybe I should keep sending them out there...Hey! Maybe we should do the dishes out there! Lol
I feel something big coming but don't know what.
I know that we are happy and that is enough for now.
