Drinking Coffee With Daddy

Derek and Ethan made a trip to Target tonight and came back with some coffee. Ethan had a small amount at a Harry and David's and claims he likes it. He drinks it with a lot of cream, but he was really drinking it. I do not like the taste of coffee at all, so I guess I was just surprised that he liked it. Grandpa will be so proud!

I guess he is just acting like an old man tonight, because he was also seriously looking at the paper. It was just so cute I had to grab the camera.

We are surviving the Fay and it seems like the worst is past us. We have quite a bit of water in our yard, but nothing too serious. Our septic pump was full today and the alarm and red flashing light went off. A quick call to the utility company and they were able to put us on the list to send someone out to drain it. It was very common because the ground was so saturated she said. Other than turning the alarm off and the phone call it did not inconvenience us any. We were also fortunate to keep our power on during the storm. Many people around us did lose power so we were very thankful to keep ours. The only thing worse than being stuck in the house for 3 days is to not have power.
This morning we did some cleaning. Who would have thought that a bucket of Murphy's Oil Soap would be so much fun. Both kids got right in on the action and loved it. We washed all the cabinets and anything wood that they could find. I quickly made the rule that only Mommy could put the rag in the bucket and ring it out.. you can image the mess that was being made. We have enjoyed a lot of play time and I changed the layout of the blog. We are ready to get back into a normal routine though. Tomorrow we are going to go into Ormond beach and visit a wonderful member of our church, Andy Jelsik who had unexpected open heart surgery this week.
Aubrey is still wanting to wear a dress everyday. Yesterday she wore her Easter dress around the house all day. She even helped make cookies in it. Some battles are just not worth fighting!
Aubrey is sleeping and Ethan is soon to follow and Derek and I are going to watch a movie for the night.
