Halloween Fun and a Scary Mess

What a fun day! This morning we had the Halloween Party in Hema's kindergarten class. The kids were so cute in their costumes and had a lot of fun.

Then I ran home and got my hubby and the girls and we headed back for the costume parade. Cora wasn't sure what to think of all the crazy costumes walking by.

Our Little Batman loved being int he parade. He of course has a mask and cape but couldn't wear them in the school. This is the same costume he wore last year. It still fits great and is in perfect condition and he really wanted to wear it so why not right??

Yesterday we discovered water leaking from above somewhere on an inside wall in our family room. This was how it looked this morning when I left to help at Hema's class party. That bulge above the baseboard is water behind the paint. Nice huh? Just to give you an idea of the size of the damage - that white on the top of the picture is the outlet so it was pretty small. 

And here is what I came home to about an hour and half later....

In case you aren't sure that is a hole over 6 feet tall cut in the wall of my family room. I hate to be a complainer and I am certainly not a carpenter, but wouldn't it have been better to cut the sheet rock off the back side of this wall in the utility room rather than this side in the middle of the family room? I'm just saying....

Yeah so now we know where the water is leaking down - but not where the water is coming from and it has stopped leaking. So I guess the plan is to leave this nice hole until it snows again and see if it starts to leak again...great plan huh? I'd like the plan a little more if the hole was in the utility room...Oh well I think I better call a plumber! 

**Update: The leak is back this morning and there hasn't been any rain or snow....so now I'm thinking maybe it's my shower! Ughhh definitely calling a plumber today!
