Is Algea Eater In There?

We had a great Mother's Day weekend. I don't have any pictures, but it was a really nice time. Mom and Dad came in on Saturday just in time for the soccer game. Both girls had a great game and a lot of fun. Then Dad started working on the house. He is our plumbing expert and he started by fixing a drip with our shower faucet. Then he moved on to replacing the toilet in the same bathroom. Mary and Tom brought us their old, but still water efficient, toilet when they remodeled their bathroom. We had a nice dinner on Saturday night with a Green Egg grilled/ raosted chicken (Andy's best yet), my favorite lemony orzo, roasted cauliflower and broccoli.

On Sunday, the girls and mom and I went to church. Dad and Andy stayed home to hang new molding in the foyer and to grill the burgers for our cookout lunch. Margaret, Bruce, Jarrett, and Miriam joined us for a great lunch on a really beautiful day. It was a wonderful Mother's Day!

Then last night, Andy thinks the newly replaced toilet might be running and need the components replaced after all. So he lifts off the top of the tank to check out the situation. It is bath time so both girls are undressing. Carly leans over him and says "is Algae eater in there?" He looks at her like she is crazy. I start laughing so hard that my pregnant bladder is endangered. She was referring to the many algae eaters that have not survived the "spicy" water in our tank and we have had to return to God via the toilet. I guess it is hard to understand that they don't just hang out in the toilet! We tried to explain that like Finding Nemo, all drains lead to the ocean and the algae eater is buried in the ocean. She seemed mollified by this answer, but I am still laughing!

Happy Mother's Day!
