Rain!!!

After at least two full months without a drop, we were thrilled to wake up to rain this morning!

The kids went right out and enjoyed it.



Then Lorelei got decked out to splash in some puddles with Daddy.












And not only am I thrilled to have water for our sod to grow, but extremely thankful for 40 minutes to keep them busy in the morning! Two weeks stuck mostly at home have given me cabin fever. We also made muffins (great time with us girls during Makin's nap), enjoyed the cool down and went for a walk around the neighborhood, and then just as we were running out of ideas, got a package from Grandma and Grandpa with new toys to occupy us. Big Thank You!!! (You should all check out Smart Snacks: http://www.learningresources.com/category/teachers/shop+by+brand/smart+play/smart+snacks--174-.do Stringing the "Trail Mix" was a huge hit!)

Come Monday we are hoping to get out most days again now that things have settled down. Just have to find some ways to beat the heat for another month... :)
