When it rains.... we play!

It rarely rains here in Texas.  We miss our good midwestern thunderstorms!  The rolling thunders, the lightning shows, and the smell of rain.

Here in Texas... we very very little rain.  So, when it poured buckets (and I mean bathtubs of buckets), Maddie wanted to play in the rain.  As long as there was no lightning.. I said "go for it!"

So, she and her friend had a ball playing in the rain for a good hour or so!

Here Maddie & her friend are running down the street... and towards the drainage pipes.  SCARED ME TO DEATH!  I envisioned two little girls being swept off by the water -- it was raining THAT much!

 

So after I yelled and ran after them to come back and staying in front of our yard...they pointed the finger at each other in the blame game.

 

The newest addition of our home....

Mike was able to build a wall in our sunroom (sorry for no pictures of that ... it's on my other camera, and Mike has that camera w/ him!) -- and so we cleaned up the room, unpacked boxes... set the table up, clean the windows (goodness gravy, they were DIRTY!), and Mike hooked up the elliptical.  I know... an elliptical in the dining room?  Yeah... that's how we roll.  :)

I have to say, I think now that it's all set up, this is definitely going to be a favorite room of ours!  Plus, I'm envisioning the room for my newborn shoots!!

This is looking from the sunroom into my living room .... I have my clock up!  Sadly, it stopped working.... boo!

 

This is looking from the living room out so you can see our mini backyard.

(yes.. that's a futon on my porch.. but it's not ours)

 

I love this tree....

Mike hates this tree...

I love the hot pink color...

Mike hates the hot pink color and berries that falls off it...

 

And since I had to break out my other lens to capture some pictures ... here is a larger picture of my kitchen

 

and in the living room... it's a mess, and we were watching General Conference on the laptop
