more on cars

So, we spent all of last week trying to get our cars fixed. Such a pain. But, at last I can say that we have two, yes two working cars! YEAH!!!!! It turned out that the van's problem was very simple. When they installed the new battery they didn't put the resistors on tight enough. This cased the the resistor to pop off the batter and cased power surges through the van. Power surges cased system failure in the AC, and made the a fuse for the driver side window pop. As for the the driver sided sliding door... the van thought that the gas door was open. There's a sensor that wasn't getting pushed... the mechanic adjusted it! Now everything works!!!

Allen spent much of last week fixing pipes and hoses in his car. It was kinda like two steps forward and one step back. Thankful, it has gotten him to school and back so far this week. Car problems have been the focus of our lives for about a month now. Hopefully we can now concentrate on getting Allen ready for finals and our family ready for the new baby.

We spent Saturday rearranging the bedrooms. Originally the plan was to put the two girls together in one room, Riley having his own. On further reflection, we decided to put the two kids that sleep through the night together. Why mess with a good thing? We made Emma's room into a playroom until the new baby needs it. We put all the books and most of the toys in there. It seems to be working out pretty well. Emma loves the big kid bed. We put her on the bottom bunk. The only hitch we've had it Emma waking up EARLY!!! Monday she was up before 6... it was still dark outside. And see woke Riley. The only up side was they took a LONG nap in the afternoon, so I could sleep.
