Cascada...

Cascada...one of my favorite Spanish words. It sounds so pretty! It means "waterfall," and it reminds me of a beautiful waterfall in Guatemala outside of Panajachel! However, this morning, when I heard Mary Frances running down the stairs saying, "Chase is making a waterfall," I didn't have such good thoughts! I could only imagine what was happening in the bathroom upstairs with the door closed and the water running (which I could hear from downstairs)!!

I opened the door to discover a real waterfall "cascading" from the sink, down the cabinets, and ALL over the floor! After a quick scream, I began mopping up the water with the partially dry towels under the sink - knowing it was probably leaking into the laundry room! It was indeed pouring from the vent downstairs into the laundry room. Thankfully, Ray C. was still home and began the clean up downstairs. After further investigation, I discovered that the drawers were even full of water, and everything under the sink was drenched! We cleaned up and still made it to school on time. Chase was disciplined appropriately! I hope that is the last time we have a waterfall inside our house!

Oh, I bet you're wondering what Chase was doing - as if he needs an excuse other than being 2!! Well, he was bathing the Barbie Dolls! They are now nice and clean!
