Last week, Travis and I were very busy gutting out our basement. For those of you who have seen it, it was finished back in the mid '80's when paneling was the hip thing to do. Now the walls are all down, and there is just big open space...and a toilet in the middle! :)
In the midst of our "renovations", we noticed another problem. Our dishwasher stopped working! It would run the load, but it stopped drying them. We knew that the dishwasher was getting old and that we'd have to replace it someday, but we weren't hoping to do so in the midst of another big project. Ugh, we were bummed! We even tried running the "dry" cycle again just to see what would happen....and nothing! Ugh!
So, I decided that we could still use it, we'd just have to dry the old way (gasp....by towel)! A few days passed and we continued to dry with towels and complain that our stinkin' dishwasher was broke! I got to thinking that dishwashers are made to choose to air dry, to save energy. I decided to go ahead and set the dishwasher to this option so that it wouldn't "short out" trying to dry. Much to my surprise...someone had already set it for me!
No, our dishwasher wasn't broken. But we've quickly learned that our 14 month old daughter is already starting to out-smart us. We've got a long road ahead!
Here are some pictures from today....and me catching her in the act!
She loves this baby-doll. She sleeps with her and carries her around with her after naps or when she wakes up. Her great-grammie C got it for her.
Caught in action!
Red handed!
This face asks "Who me?"
Then this one says "Yeah...that's pretty funny stuff!"

She found a pumpkin that she liked, but it was too big to take home!
Liv really liked the animals.
