Mom and dad decided to come down for the afternoon to hang out and work on some things around the house. At one point mom and I had to go to Walmart for something last minute. We brought back coffee drinks for all of us to have.
Event #1:
Dad had poured his drink into another glass with a straw. He had been sipping on the drink carrying it with him from room to room. All of a sudden...the cup slipped out of his fingers and he watched it fall in slow motion to the floor. It landed with a thud, spilling most of its contents on the floor and spraying it on the wall as well. He was horrified and just stood there not knowing what to do until all of a sudden he realized he needed to pick up the cup. I grabbed towels and carpet cleaner right away and started scrubbing. I wasn't worried about it and knew it would come out. There I was on my hands and knees scrubbing the carpet when Jeremy came home from work.
Event #2:
Since Jeremy and I were getting a new dining room table, mom was helping arrange the dining room so the new table would fit. First her and I moved G-ma's china hutch to one side of the room and then decided to move it to the other side instead. It was slow going since I hadn't taken anything out and it was heavy. Jeremy finished helping mom move it into a corner and right at the end, mom's knee slipped and hit the glass. Oops! Right away I was worried she was cut but she said she was fine. The hutch didn't fair so well. The bottom part of the panel of glass had broken, yet nothing broke inside. Phew!
It was a very exciting holiday just for different reasons! Mom and dad ordered new glass for the hutch and we did allow them back to the house, even after all that!
