A lovely September Rain

Ben is on call at the hospital tonight... on those days we get creative for dinner, since daddy won't be eating with us. We did breakfast for dinner (pancakes and eggs), which we so often do on call nights. I love it because it's quick and easy and the kids always clean their plates! :) As we finished up eating it started to rain pretty hard outside (with the sun still peaking through the clouds, which makes it oh so fun). Since it had been an otherwise uneventful day, I quickly shooed the kids outside to play in the rain.











It was a nice end to our day as I then threw them both in the tub and then into pajamas. Just as I was quite impressed with Emma and Becca's puddle jumping talents, I was also impressed today with Emma's puzzle-put-together skillz. I knew she was working on a puzzle while I was getting some dishes done downstairs... I came up to check on her progress and she was finishing up with the last few pieces. I couldn't believe she did the WHOLE thing by herself! She then pointed to the state of Maine and asked if that was the North Pole. :)

  1. I love heavy rainstorms like that! wish we had them more often in salt lake. That was one of the best things about provo, their huge rain storms and puddle jumping on the way home from class. There were always huge rivers up to our apartment in heritage. oh the memories of freshman year. we did have a giant rainstorm here a month or two ago, it flooded people's houses and it came down so fast the with in three minutes the water in the streets was deep enough to cover the wheels of the cars. It was ever so impressive, I just wish it happened more often, the flooding wasn't good, but the rest was positively amazing!

    It will be my 'refrigerator picture' of the week.

  3. How fun to play in the rain. I miss AZ rain and the smell of it. Belive it or not when it rains in Pa it does not smells like AZ rain. I hope that made sense.

    Also so glad Emma started Head Start I really liked it when Hunter was in it. Hope all is going good.
