there is nothing more refreshing than to wake up to a upstairs bathroom floor covered in water and your dining room below…table included…also covered in toilet water. ahhhhh….so lovely. and with company here too. it just doesn’t get better than that right? the good stuff.
my sister came down at 7:45 AM and i was mopping my dining room in my pajamas. i said “the toilet overflowed upstairs…i am not just some crazy lady mopping at 7:45 in the morning!” i got the mess cleaned…went to walmart and came back to the same thing again!
then i realized it was the pipe outside the toilet leaking…so it was clean water at least…not sewer.
gotta be happy about that i guess.
we shut off the water and headed out to party!
my sister and i took the kids to the zoo summer concert. craig met us after work and my mom did too.
chubby carrier and the bayou swamp band plays louisana zydeco music that is just too much fun. he calls himself the father of fun!
it was a blast. we took blankets and snacks.
the kids starting dancing on the first song!
we had everyone on the “dance floor” except lauren and craig.
talby and my niece macy were loving every minute.
talby shouted “i like this music! i LIKE dancing!” and she danced almost all night.
annie liked it too. she went on the stage for Rockin’ Robin. see the little kids wearing the little washboards! so cute. she looks scared but she was loving it! she can dance.
it was hot and everyone was all sweaty but we didn’t care.
i convinced sean to dance halfway through.
he finally did! he loved dancing too.
what’s not to like? it feels too good.
we grew up listening to all kinds of music and going dancing alot.
i do think i was the only 10 year old going to blues bars with their dad till the middle of the night.
thanks for doing that mom and dad. seriously.
i can’t ever hear a marcia ball song without dancing (and singing). even if it’s just at my kitchen sink.
i love that memory.
lauren took the pictures of us dancing! so technically she stepped on the dance floor but there was no dancing on her part.
she’s missing out.
Megan Duerksen - It’s all about the angles of photography! there are plenty of things in my house that are not so nice…but with the right cropping..they disappear!
traci - Been to your blog MANY times but for some reason I just noticed that you had TONS of pictures of you GORGEOUS home!! It is so nice that you know what to do with that gorgeous masterpiece of a home! I know a couple people who have homes similar to yours and have NO IDEA what to do with them. I also painted my master bedroom choc. brown but was struggling with a really great accent color… You have inspired me to just add WHITE. I love that look and I already have lots of white furniture since I have a pretty shabby chic decor in most the house. Love all your white furniture, your red dish collection (HOW FUN IS THAT?) …actually there was nothing in your house I didnt like….I even think you could make the blue wallpaper in the playroom work… lol…. Thanks for sharing!!!!
traci - Looks like SO much FUN!! In the end it isnt even about the dancing but just “family time”…you create that OFTEN and that is SO cool! So sorry to hear about the plumbing issue :(…but HEY, at least it was clean water!!!!
