Rain, Rain Go Away!

We're not arguing that we needed rain at all, because we did.  But... did it really have to rain a majority of the weekend?  Friday evening was a busy one, as we went through the garage, crawl space and shed and loaded the truck up with crap for the community trash day on Saturday morning!  Success, as the truck was loaded.  And then a bonfire, with off-and-on rain.

Saturday... Busy morning of cleaning, running to get Franny Crocs and a night out for mommy and daddy it was a good, productive day!  Why does Franny need Crocs, well because that kid LOVES water... playing with buckets, in the dog water dishes, dumping her watering can on top of herself regularly, the bathtub... you name it she loves it.  After soaking 3 pair of shoes last weekend, I made the decision that she's going to live in Crocs.

And Sunday, it rained all morning.  Rain, rain go away... and it finally did mid-afternoon and everybody was able to get out.  The pictures below are of Nece helping Robby (Mona's boyfriend) build his pond.  It's hard to see, but she insisted on having us put her Dora kneepads and gloves on to help (just like Robby with his knee pads and gloves).

And, in case anybody is wondering... here was our lawn on April 8.

And a picture taken from the exact same spot today.

Hopefully after another 2 weeks (ideally 3 or 4) off the lawn, it'll be ready to mow and play on again... we shall see!
