Catching our breath!

We made it home from our wonderful beach vacation last Sunday evening and were welcomed by a 93 degree house and a washing machine that didn't work! Nice, huh?
After sweating for three hours, we decided we couldn't sleep in that heat and checked into a hotel for the night! We got the air fixed on Monday afternoon. And got a washer repair man lined up for Tues afternoon. So, things seemed under control.
Robbie took my van to get gas Monday evening. After being gone for about 30 mins (and the gas station is like 4 blocks from our house), I got a call from him saying that he couldn't get the van out of park and I needed to come pick him up! We had to leave the van in front of a gas pump overnight! We were a little worried about what might go wrong next.....
and how much these repairs were going to add up to!
Luckily, Robbie learned that it was an $8 fuse that would fix the van! The washer repair man ordered a part and installed it on Thursday. And I did 7 loads of laundry yesterday to get us caught up! So, I think we are officially back in business today (Friday!) We are very thankful that the van waited until we were back in town to have its issue! Would have been awful if it had happened at a gas station on our way home from Gulf Shores!
Needless to say we didn't get out and do a whole lot this week....in between all of our many issues! We did however try to make the most of what is left of summer!
Here are some pics of the kids this week!
I was informed that this was their Circus Ring Master costume!
Not sure what kind of Circus my kiddos have gone too! Kinda concerning!
Snow White and Santa Clause!
Enjoying some more pool time!
Pretty sure the kids and I could live at the pool all summer long!
We love it!
