The Kassel Family Project Life 365

So yesterday, our plumbing backed up again.  We get this about once a year.  We called Mastertech Plumbing who came this morning and got rid of our clog.  We also now have a product called Bio-Clean that is supposed to be excellent for cleaning drain pipes.  I’m crossing my fingers because yesterday was not pleasant with the dishes and laundry to do.

I also kept John home today with me.  He had a fever part of yesterday and some of today.  He seems to be doing better today.  I don’t know if he has an ear infection or what.  He’s not acting as if his ears hurt so I’m hoping it’s just a fever.  More finger crossing necessary.

Laura’s “best friend EVER” came over to play for a bit this morning.  It was great to see Kathryn and Andrea (her mom).  The kids had a fun time playing and it was nice to talk to Andrea.

The girls played Wii Bowling for a little bit.  Laura has decided she loves this game!  John does too though he just holds the remote and “throws” the ball while Andy and I are actually bowling.

Time for the Valentine’s Day decorations to come down and put up the St. Patrick’s Day decorations!  The centerpiece on our dining room table.

Kassel Family Sign in the entryway

Entryway light decorations.  John LOVES to make the bells ring.

Prairie Fume from Wollersheim Winery is a gift that Dad and Marilyn bring down for us from Wisconsin.  We got six bottles for Christmas this past year.  It was our wine of choice this evening.  Oh and Dad?  We are down to two bottles.  Think you might need to visit soon and help us restock our wine chillers!  🙂

Tired kids (too much excitement from swimming lessons) and a tired husband (not feeling 100% and on-call for work with the 3 am phone call very early this morning) makes for a tired me.  It’s all good though.  🙂  It was beautiful weather today and just a good day!  Finishing up cleaning the kitchen and then off to dreamland…..

So, I’ve had a couple of people say, “Where did your blog web address come from?”  The “wordpress.com” you get from the site.  The “phamy” part is a small description of me.  For those of you who don’t know, Andy and I play a game called World of Warcraft.  It’s a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG).  My main character in game is “Phamyn” (or Famine).  Andy came up with that name when I was first thinking of playing.  We thought it went well with “Playghue” (or Plague), which was Andy’s main character at the time.  Over the past four years, I’ve come to be leading a great group of people called a “guild.”  We are the Aging Gamers of the Dunemaul realm.  Aging Gamers is made up of a group of over 100 adults that just enjoy playing the game.  It’s an awesome group of people and I have the privilege of leading them! In guild, I’m known as “Pham,” but one night someone called me “Phamy” and I thought it was cute.  Insert blog website address.  🙂
