We've been having a LOT of severe weather this week. In fact, today is the only day that hasn't seen at least some rain. Yesterday there was a severe storm (which we had to drive through, of course) which included high winds, pretty sizable hail, rain so hard we couldn't see, and lightning every couple of seconds. There was a tree down at one point, so we had to turn around and go a different way. Luckily we had the GPS to re-route us (I heart my TomTom). Then we saw a power line down, which was pretty freaky. And, of course, our power was out when we arrived home. This makes the second time in the two weeks we've lived here. Only yesterday it was out for about 5 hours (the first time was only an hour or so). I was starting to get worried that all of our newly purchased grocery items would spoil. But they didn't, and we managed fine.
Chris was working for most of the day (except for when we had to pick up our van from the shop and return the rental car, which was when we went through the storm), and once he dropped us off the storm cleared and it started getting sunny out. And hot.
Our front section of property slopes down, and the bottom part kind of serves as a retention pond. As such, it had collected quite a bit of rain water, and the boys saw it and asked if they could play in it after lunch. So when the baby went down for his nap, I took the big boys out to frolic in our new redneck pool. Observe:
And then the baby got up from his nap...
So I have concluded that the boys' new favorite toys are: sticks, rocks, dirt, mud puddles, and bugs. Good thing we have plenty of all of them!
