On Saturday we enjoyed our first day of perfect plumbing after Dale and his team entertained us with an excavating expedition right outside the kitchen door!
A little digging on the right side of the house, outside Jorja's window, turned into the entire uprooting of the main sewerage system to sort out the tree roots that had interfered with the pipe. Ethan was much more interested in this live show than any Disney Channel episode which was nice for a change. Speaking of which, this particular mission knocked out the satellite and so after we cheered for the fact that we could now do the laundry, wash the dishes, take a shower and flush the toilet...we also learnt that we no longer had cable television. A decent weaning process perhaps?
Saturday was also the second day in a row that the kids went down for a nap very late in the afternoon...resulting in almost - midnight madness working off supper by doing laps in the play room on the farm and still looking energised! (The day before yesterday we sampled Quechee Club's indoor pool facilities and would've felt like quite the posh crowd - that is except for Jorja 'cannon balling' into the pool and Ethan 'monkey climbing' along the wall. In other news, Jorja is starting to learn how to tread water.
