It has rained and rained for about 3 days here, so not only do we have a lot of extra water in out parts, but we also have some very housebound crazy kids. We have a had 6 inches in 2 days, so as Chris and I were driving around today, we found a lot of obstacles in our way, such as this bridge that was covered in water. This was one of 3 we saw, and the others in the area had only a few more feet to rise before they we covered as well. It has now stopped raining, so we are thinking the worst is behind us. Most of the flooded lawns are now just soggy, so I hope we are done!
This was on Thursday after it rained in the morning. The kids went outside in the afternoon and were playing. Olivia decided she wanted to eat the "mud soup" Grace and Jed had made.
Friday we were stuck inside so I broke out a magical toy. Grace and Jed both received their first box of 64 count crayons with a sharpener. It was magic. Jed had gotten a baseball on Thursday, so all day Friday was spent begging to go outside and play ball. He settled for just coloring with it.
Grace of course was overjoyed with her color choices and went right to work.
Pleased as punch to have new crayons!

I too am a sucker for new crayons - I love the big box with the sharpener.... true story - I have a box right now and I have probably only used about 10 of the colors - Ryan asked if he could take it to scouts for their activity and I said no.... 10 year old boys would RUIN my perfect crayon tips!!!!!!

That's hard times. Kids housebound is really no fun!! Glad to see Mary Poppins had great ideas again. Did you play Cinderella again?
