rain, rain, go away...

it's rainy here.....it has been since friday, off & on....including some thunderstorms on saturday....it's supposed to keep it up until wednesday......then we'll have a 2 day break in the rain until the thunderstorms return on friday, and run again for several more days! wow - that REALLY sucks!

friday eve, the kids got in some moon sand time on the front porch (since it was rainy - grrrr).....i would have NEVER bought this stuff - but all the kids have received some sort of moon sand activity as birthday presents.....and i'm actually glad.....it's messy & i HIGHLY suggest you make this an outside activity, like we do.....but it's pretty neat & the kids could sit and play with it for hours!

curtis was punching his heavy bag while the kids played
"don't ya wish your husband was hot like mine?! don't ya?!" ~lol~

saturday, the kids went along with me on a cake delivery, 1 1/2 hours away (not by choice, daddy was working).....and of course it was raining! we actually drove through a thunderstorm & had fun seeing who could spot the lightning.....

my cuties, being awfully sweet! sorry for the tilted pic - obviously, i had to point the camera & click without actually looking at what i was snapping

as you can tell, the drive was right in the middle of nap time - corinn had to use my bag as her pillow!

a pic of my sweets before church on sunday - a break in the rain.....ps - those darling dresses with matching turtle necks were $5 specials at walmart - whoo hoo for clearance racks!


the rain held off yesterday, until right after our very first backyard camp fire.....gabby & corinn attended a friend's birthday party yesterday afternoon.....meanwhile, jaden & i went rock hunting....and let me tell you, it was a HUNT! because of all the recent rain, the rivers were up so high that the water was covering up all the river rock.....so we literally would spot big rocks on the side of the road & would pull over to snatch them up.....after daddy got home last night, we built our spot & had our first fire.....looks like it'll be at least a week before we can try out the fire pit again!

I am a total gimmack lover! I bought moon sand for Bri last Christmas...and seriously...it's outside only! :o)

Cold & rainy here too...ugh!

Okay...and does your hubby box? He's seriously in such great shape that I feel like plugging in my workout vid right this minute! :oP

nana - corinn asked about marshmallows, but all i had were the mini ones - doubt they would have worked well! ~lol~

danielle - he just boxes as a work-out, not to compete or anything...he's always boxing, working out on his total gym, push-ups, sit-ups, lifting weights, etc...i wish i had his dedication! and of course, he can eat WHATEVER he wants and still look that good!

Great...now I'm hungry! *grin*

Seriously...

Don't cha wish your husband was a freak-like-mine? Don't cha? LOL

Cute pics. So cool that you built a fire pit in your backyard!! Wish we could do that. We barely have a yard! We could only put a gas fire pit in our lame HOA community (which I actually looked at yesterday at Target).
