This was a quite a busy weekend, and much different then a normal busy weekend. On friday night Team Beck went out with some of our dear friends, Vince, Emily and baby Payton (1 yr old), and Matt, Julia, Aiden (2.5 years old) and baby Ethan (1 mo.) This was much different then many other nights out, getting a little buzz was quickly replaced by making sure we had enough high chairs. Dinner out was long, fun and didn't lack a dull moment.
Today Brookes parents left for GA. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did. Now begins the true test for team Beck.
The test didn't start out great this morning. At quarter to 8 this morning I hear, "Honey get over here right away"! I went into the kitchen to see our sink backed up and nearly about to over-flow. It was about 1/2 an inch from becoming a real nightmare. While I'd like to think I'm somewhat handy, I'm not. I called for maintenance to come up right away, which they actually did. Turns out one of our brain-trust neighbors dumped a ton of dirt/soil down there sink. While I would like to believe that our sink was just muddy water, the smell led me to believe there was quite a bit of grease in there as well. Thank goodness there was no dishes, baby bottles or anything in the sink. This was probably only the third time ever we went to bed with a completely clean sink. I would have to compare our sink to a liquid tar kind of appearance.
After about an hour of shop vac, plunge, air pressure gun, repeat, we went another rout. We decided to rod the sink, if that is even the correct term. Unfortunately whatever we cleared out, much of it came out as well. So to say we have a little cleaning and disinfecting to do is a safe bet. The good news about today, is we had a holiday party at work. If you have ever seen the show the office, that's pretty much like our Christmas party.
Well dad is back to work at the house!
