Storms

A quick note to let everyone know we survived the storms last night, although it was exciting with all the lightning. It continuously thundered for an hour and shook the house several times, rattling all the windows. It even woke up Buddy, which is pretty hard to do.
I think we are up to 11 days with perception (I'm pretty sure she meant "precipitation" -JB). At least 4 more to go, if Grandmaw is right.
Edit: The Man did manage to capture some great rain pics last night.
Note, the Man pulled all the way up, as to hopefully avoid a busted windshield from large hail, but fortunately the hail was only pea sized. Also, note the cascading sheet of rain coming off the house although we have gutters. Yes, it was raining very hard, but if you look closely about 1 foot or 2 from the downspout there's no wall of water coming off the gutters. Want to know why? That's the spot were Buddy's lost baseball is. It backs up the water so it has to go over the gutter instead of down the gutter. ugh! Its eventually going to get washed down to the downspout and then we will be major trouble. Perhaps I can get the Man up there this weekend and remove it.

Batting practice this afternoon, and as you know it has rained alot here, so the field had some standing water.
1 three-yr old + 1 small pond + 1 hour of free time = a very muddy little guy.


I didn't even tell him no, or to stay out of it. It would have just been too exhausting for both us and I thought to myself. Tomorrow is it going to be a big deal that he played in the water & mud? No, not really. So I let him have his fun. Come on, you are only 3 once, right?
