Games, Games and More Games Along with Lots of Snow

April showers bring May flowers unless you live where the snow continues to fall
Mountains at super high snow levels and the worry begins that we may see some flooding if it all decides to come down at once. Let's hope not.

Boo, Ty and D went to D's brothers and had an all night video game playing with several of D's brothers and assorted other people. I think it is neat that they all still have this in common and like to spend time together and play. I know many of the wives get tired of the computer games and the the extreme amount of time that they spend playing, I do as well as I still have an unfinished basement and backyard. I do think that it is good for their relationship as brothers that they spend time together doing something that they all enjoy. They all played various computer and x-box games, ate pizza and snacks sent by the assorted wives. I think this time it was especially important as D has one brother who will be going into a combat zone soon so it is good for them to spend time with him before he goes. Later that next day we met with several of his siblings and spouses for a dinner out. It is really nice to see everyone and spend time having fun with them even if it still snowing.

We do feel bad, we had been housesitting for my sister on vacation and between thursday evening when we checked their house and Friday afternoon their sump pump quit working and their crawl space flooded. Boo had gone over to check on the dog and heard a beeping noise coming from downstairs. As she went down the stairs and peeked into the crawl space she stepped into a puddle of water. She ran home and got her dad and he went back over, got the pump working again but we felt bad that we did not catch it sooner. Sorry Sis about not catching it sooner, but cool monitor for water. If you had not had that we would not have caught it when we did and it could have been much worse.

well sorry for the boring post.
