We had a really nice day yesterday even if the temperature did get in the 90s. I know, you guys in Texas have 90s all the time. Up here though, it's a shock this time of year and we are no where near as air conditioned as you are.
The day was busier than I originally thought it would be. Other than Caelyn's school and Caleb's nap, we got a visit from our plumbers in the morning. They other day I noticed corrosion on some of our water pipes in the basement and asked them to come take a look. We have been doing business with John Heyrich and Sons for years based on a recommendation from some friends. They are, I think, a 4th or maybe 5th generation family business. One of the posts in our basement has an old metal plate with their name on it and a phone number with only 4 digits.
Anyway, they gave us good news. While the piping will need to be replaced, it can wait 8 or 9 years if we wish. You have to love a contractor that will come in and tell you the truth even if it costs them money.
Caelyn stayed for lunch at school. I picked her up about 12:30 and we came home just long enough for a bathroom break. Then it was off to the playground to meet some friends.
This was the first official play date with these kids. They are twin girls Caelyn's age and the three of them had met a while back at our neighbors going away party. They instantly started running around the playground not caring in the least it was about 95. The twins mother and I did our best to stay in the shade. We cared a lot that it was 95.
The girls played hard for about two hours. It was then time to break up the party. None of the girls were happy about that but they have an older sister that was due home from school around that time.
The kids and I then headed to the pet store. Yesterday was moving day for a few of our fish. They were upgrading from the 10 gallon tank to the new 55 gallon one. I needed to pick up a couple of things in order to make sure the water in our new tank was safe. The move went well for them though they don't know what to do with all that space. We will be getting them some friends soon.
It was then time for dinner and getting the kids to bed. When I started the week, I thought Wednesday was going to be a pretty lazy day. It's amazing how quickly that can change.
