Rain, Mud, and Boys

  We had a lot of rain!!! I even called John to come home so that we could keep our house from flooding. Our whole yard and roof drains to once place....right by our front door. We've had a little come in the house before but was able to keep it from making it to the carpet. Needless to say, we see gutters and a french drain in our future. John spent a long time using our shop vac to suck out the water, swept the water to drain off our driveway, and collected water in a trash can that came off the roof. For a while I wondered if he would be able to keep up with the down pour but he did! He even removed the water so quickly that we didn't even need to skip prayer meeting at the church building. Thankfully, the rain let up and he didn't have to continue being 'the man of the house' protecting his domain. (Today, he continued to protect it by killing a snake who ate the baby birds in our back yard and knocking down the wasps nest just outside our door. 

 

Of course, mud just goes along with getting a lot of rain so they boys really enjoyed getting all dirty. I loved watching them squish their toes in the mud, sit and dig in the mud, and Luke even ate some.

Until next time...
