First, Amelia slept in super late so I took advantage of the extra free time and tried to get some things done around the house, like the laundry and dishes. When I heard her awake around 10 AM, I headed upstairs to get her up. We talked and played for about 20 minutes before coming downstairs for breakfast. As I stepped into the kitchen, my sock were immediately soaked, as were the bottoms of my pants. Upon further investigation, I came to realize the washing machine had backed up and the entire laundry room and kitchen resembled a very shallow lake. With Jason unable to leave work, I called (who else?) my dad to come and check it out. He concluded that there was probably a clog in one of the pipes and suggested calling a plumber to come investigate. This was NOT the way I was looking to start my Monday morning, ugh.
Luckily, the other thing I remember about Monday was the delicious Hanukkah meal my sister-in-law, Amy, prepared for the family. We watched as she lit the menorah and said the special Hanukkah prayers. I love that as Amelia gets older, she will be able to witness and learn about a religion outside of her own firsthand from her aunt and cousin.
Although Monday was hard blog-worthy, watch out because Tuesday definitely was!
