Behind in classes

I have to play some serious catch up in my classes today and tomorrow. I have one paper in my Early Modern European class that was due on Friday and I have at least 3 pages of book notes to write on a book I haven't even started yet. The book notes are due tomorrow afternoon. So I'd better get to reading. But first I just wanted to write a quick update. A pipe or something broke in the apartment above ours so our ceiling, wall, and carpet got all wet and mildewy. Thankfully we found the leak before it ruined too much of our stuff. We had to move everything away from the area so now we have all our luggage and boxes of stuff being stored in our living room. :/ It makes for a very cluttered room, especially after Avery's toys get scattered too. Maintenance fixed the pipe for now but all they did for us was give us fans to dry the mildewy carpet. It's dry, but it smells disgusting still and I'm worried it's going to get us sick. I'm going to complain on Monday. Avery is doing so well with potty training. She wears Sesame Street panties during the day and only wears a diaper when she takes a nap and overnight. She's so good.
Last night was foodfest. We didn't want to spend a ton of money there so I made chicken enchiladas. We ate those for dinner then went to foodfest and had dessert. It was fun. Avery really liked jumping in the Elmo's World bouncy room. Erik and the TESOL Society did really well selling cotton candy. They used up and sold 30 lbs of sugar in one night. Crazy. :)
Oh, Avery can open our front door now. And she loves her friends. She talks about Corban, Lilia, and Breea all the time. Yesterday she was pretending to talk on my cell phone and I asked her who she was talking to. She the phone away from her mouth long enough to tell me, "I talking Nana." (Nana is my mom). She's such a sweet, smart, wonderful girl. If she feels that she's suffered an injustice she will tell me and Erik, "Mommy, Daddy, timeout." She did that on Friday because we accidentally forgot her shoes at home so we wouldn't let her walk around Ala Moana Mall barefoot. She wasn't too upset about us carrying her, but when we got into the car she pointed her little finger at us and said, "Mommy, Daddy, timeout. No Avery walking. Timeout." She's so smart. Well, I'd better get to reading. :)
