Cause & Effect

Here is our cause

The effect, our kitchen ceiling

Last night was suppose to be a low key night, we were going to put the girls to bed and then relax and watch some t.v. I look forward to Thursday nights as FlashForward, Grey's and Private Practice are all on back to back. Well last night went a little differently than we had planned as obvious by the pictures. I was doing one last check of my email when Paige walked in and had lotion on her face and hands. I didn't think anything of it, I just told her she was silly that she needs to ask me for the lotion instead of doing it herself. Cory was in the girls bathroom touching up a few places I had missed from my repainting earlier in the day (that is a another story for another day). I got up to go get Paige's pajama's on when I heard water running. I knew that it was coming from the master bathroom as the girls bathroom is still not up and running. I immediately panic knowing exactly what I am going to find when I walk in the bathroom as we do not have a overflow hole in our sink. I walked in and sure enough there is water EVERYWHERE!! Apparently Paige was trying to get some of the lotion off her hands and left the water running. I call to Cory, he runs in to see the tsunami and then takes off to the basement to get towels. As he is going downstairs I hear him yell, "it is coming through the ceiling". We got as much of the water soaked up as we could, however, quite a bit had already run down and under the vanity which we could not move. We had to get buckets and place them in three different spots in the kitchen, it was horrible all we could do was stand there and watch as the water poured and I am not kidding you by saying poured from the ceiling. Poor Cory just when he could see the end in sight of projects around the house, now he was to repaint the ceiling, hopefully that will do the trick and he doesn't have to replace the whole thing.
