The month of December!!!

So this month has been a crazy one. Good and bad. It started out great. We got to do gingerbread houses again at my moms. The girls had a great time. Kaylin was more destructive then helpful but she did enjoy the frosting a lot. Madi was teamed up with Bill and Kaylin was my little partner. Here are a few pics of the end results.

So the next week Madi had her little dance performance. She was so cute. She didn't do the whole dances but you could tell she was trying to keep up with the other 2 girls. I thought she did a good job. Sorry I don't have any pics for you my camera was packed away so my parents have those pics on their camera.

So Susan ended up buying a home in Orem. We all decided it would be a great idea for all of us to move in together to save both of us some money. Well so far it has not been a good thing at all. First all the painting took so long. My mom and I spent probably a week painting and spent 6 to 8 hours a day painting a home that isn't mine. Plus I rented a carpet cleaner and spent 5 hours cleaning the carpet by myself. That was only the basement part that I am living in. Plus when all that was done and it was time to move it was a blizzard day tons of snow. Then once we got to the house it flooding!! The toilet had been overflowing for a couple of hours. All the carpet was soaked in all the rooms. So it took a long time to get settled in because we had to wait for everything to dry. So a few days later we thought we would finally be able to get things put away the basement floods again. This time in the laundry room but that was where we put all our stuff from the first flood. So lets just say I was not happy at all. Then a couple days later the laundry room flooded again and then again. So 4 floods in only a week in a half. We finally made Sus pay for a plumber. Rick, her dad, tried his hardest to fix the problem but it needed a expert. So I hope the floods are done so we can finally get settled in. The plumber said the problem was roots and that the home owner would have to snake them out every 4 months. So I hope the problem will stay fixed. Then on top of moving I had to clean the old apartment and their cleaning lists are ridiculous. They are super anal about everything. To give you an example they tell you on the list things that are missed a lot are people leaving dirt in the on and off switches in the words. CRAZY!!! I finally finished in time to deal with the madness of getting ready for Christmas. I am still not all the way moved in yet but hopefully soon.
