LONG 4th

Started the day off by going to Carynn's grandparents house for a little swim before naps...it was great.

Came home, put the kids down for naps and had some much needed alone time for mom and dad. Around 4:30 (So 2 1/2 hours after Toby went to sleep) we walk in Tobys room to get him only to find a water show going on. There was water pouring out of all 3 light bulbs in his light fixture.  Kevin ran outside to find that the hose has busted a whole in it (he forgot to turn it off earlier in the morning) and the hole happened to be perfectly pointed at the roof where there is a 12 x 1 inch opening (that only happens every 5 feet mind you) under the roof that goes into the attack. The water was going into the whole and into the attack and right into Toby's room. He slept through the entire thing. His room was soaked. Kevin had to rip out all the carpet padding and take the carpet out on the lawn to dry. He had to poke a million holes in the ceiling so the drywall and insulation dries and doesn't mold. Kevin kicked butt cleaning up all the water. He filled up 2 whole shop vac loads of water and nothing important was ruined. It could have been a whole lot worse so we are thankful for that much. We still have to come up with the funds to fix the damage though so we will see how that goes.
