The Day After-we're getting orange pipes

Today was supposed to be a semi-normal day. Eric did most of the cleaning up last night, so there wasn't much to do this morning. Also a nice strong wind outside took care of the rest of the confetti on the ground. I had to work, so Sam and Eric did guy stuff this morning. Sam opened the rest of his presents today. He got a few more toys, and a couple of nice outfits. Hey Mom and Dad - the orange outfit is fantastic! Your box arrived today. He also got a soccor ball, and has been running around the house kicking and throwing it, shouting, "WHEE, WHEE!" That's the same thing he said each time he hit his pinata, by the way. Other lastest new phrase is, "Here you go." Just make sure you look at what he's giving you. Especially in the back yard where the dog does her business...

Here's the fun part of our day. The park is "upgrading" the gov't housing to include sprinkler systems. The low bid went to a company that is installing orange pipes along the ceilings of all the houses. Today a guy showed up to drill 3 inch holes in our walls to pass the pipes through. By lunch tomorrow we will be seeing a lovely orange lattice of pipes on the ceiling. (It costs too much to put them over the ceiling and poke the spigots through, and well, as I mentioned, this is being done by the LOWEST bidder.) We're changing the sheets on our bed as the guy didn't put up a drop cloth to start and now there's drywall dust in our bed. Yuck. I'll post a picture later.

Also I'm heading to Austin, TX tomorrow for an SLP conference. I should be home Sunday around lunch time. I still haven't found a Sunday morning babysitter for Sam, so I need to make a couple of phone calls this evening.
