Jo Bros, Soccer, and Plumbing Woes
Where to start, where to start...the fun stuff always win. Friday night was the big premier of the Jonas Brothers 3-D movie (as it turns out, it did shockingly bad and Hannah Montana kicked their 3-D hineys with her movie). Liv put on a new dress, her fave earrings (dangly ones with 5 different colored stars. She said she had to look cool in case the Jo Bros picked our theater to show up at. That never happened, but Liv was looking great nonetheless. The movie was ok, but what wasn't ok was the theater full of screeching preteen girls. Ugh. Afterwards, Liv got to pick any place she wanted to eat--Applebees it was. I love the days when I get to have just "big girl" time with her. Soccer was the next day. It was super windy and cold, that did not put a damper on Liv's confidence. On the way to the game, Liv predicted that she would score between 3 and 5 goals. Propelled to victory by the two best cheerleaders ever (Josie, who yelled "Go, Sissy" 2,000 times and Danielle who trekked out in the cold with moon boot and all) Olivia's team did win and Liv did score her first goal of the season. The not fun stuff at the Denler Estate is the state of our singular bathroom. The weekend before we are set to remodel the whole bathroom our plumbing goes to crap. The bathtub not draining started us down the path we are going down now. Tomorrow Walter the Plumber (who is great and Kevin says really knows his stuff) will be removing a portion of my house's concrete slab, a small wall, and the bathtub in order to replace the leaky plumbing. But better that this happen now than after we have remodeled everything, right? So, what this means for me is that we can't bathe at home for a week and Josie needs to not be at home while it is a construction zone. So, friends, neighbors, and parents can expect to be hosting the Denlers for meals and baths...leave the light on!
