6.28.14: Adventure home

After a very straightforward flight home from Los Angeles, the girls and I (Brant was driving home later this week) entered to a small lake in the laundry room that expanded well into the hallway.  It seems the washing machine had a mind of its own while we were gone and although it was completely empty, open and had not been used several days before our departure, it filled itself up with water, overflowed and created a mess.  Putting aside the mysterious puddle for a while, I went to confirm the toilets were working and sure enough 2/3 were not.  My non eventful day was quickly changing.  While upstairs dealing with toilets, I told the girls to stay out of the puddle and play in the play room while I got the house back in order (or tried to).  Sure enough, I start to hear giggles - too many giggles.  I came downstairs to discover that the puddle had been splashed all over the walls and furniture by three little girls who decided together it was a good idea to jump in the (hopefully clean) water. I did not agree.
