14 Hours of Family Hilarity

Since 8pm last night we’ve had a few interesting events happen in our family which I’m sure you’ll enjoy hearing about!

Last night at around 8pm Ethan came out covered… no, caked in flour.  His eyes were pretty much the only thing not touched by the fine white layer over his body.  I was about to take photos then he started crying… something about there being white stuff everywhere.

He had a quick shower then I started vacuuming his bed… also caked in flour with several large deposits.  Then I found the toy… a small movable, shapable balloon with eyes and hair which had previously been filled with flour!  I bought one each for the boys in Jakarta when I was there last year.  Clearly they don’t last very long!

Then at 2am Beck got up as she could hear running water.  I soon heard, ‘Darren? Can you come here?’  I got up quickly then found the source of the problem.  A hose underneath our vanity in the bathroom had split rather badly and heated water was gushing everywhere!  Fortunately the bathroom tilts slightly so the river ran straight into the shower!!  I turned the water off at the mains and called a plumber asap this morning!  $50 and we’re on our way.

Oh, plus there was a rat incident this morning too… Zeus has decided that the bin out the back is a useful source of entertainment and has tossed the garbage all over the back area.  FUN!

What funny things have happened to you recently?!
