I know that I have posted four new posts today, but I really wanted to get caught up before school starts tomorrow. Hopefully I will do better in the coming months.
Last week we got an incredible rainstorm. The wind was blowing, there was lightning and thunder, and the rain was really coming down. The kids all wanted to go out and play in the rain and I told them no because I didn't want to deal with the mess after. Well, shortly after this I realized that we had forgotten to bring in our garbage can and the wind had blown it up the street. Not wanting it to hit anybody's car I went out to get it (Ben couldn't go fast enough due to the boot on his foot). Well, after less than a minute in the rain I was drenched. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it and realized that a little mess was a small price to pay for the experience. So we called all the kids out and ran in the rain. Ben even took off his boot and joined us for a while.
Running up the street. The water in the gutters was several inches deep and the rain was coming in at an angle.
Bonnie's friend Tori was over playing at our house and came playing in the rain with us. Gwen was cold and wet at this point and ready to go back inside.

Love the rain pictures. Monsoons make for some good times. Glad you joined in on the fun.
The new pictures of your kids on the side are SO SO CUTE!
Oh, and a new family picture too! I didn't notice until I scrolled back up to the top, after I had already commented...my bad. VERY cute.
