Rain, Rain...

go away! Come again another day!!

Has anyone else had it with this rain? I love a good rainstorm, but this has not let up up for days now and as I watch the weather each night, it doesn't look like is will anytime soon either! It is nice cause we don't have to water the lawn and flowers, but a few days of warm, hot, sun would do me so good right now and it probably doesn't help that I feel like I'm gettin' a cold {grrrr}! I feel bad cause Hannah has only been able to play two of her softball games. I went Monday to drop her off a ½ hour before the game to practice and that's the exact time a huge hail storm hit! We parked under a huge pine tree and waited the storm out. It quit exactly at 5:00, right when her game was supposed to start! They cancelled the game cause the fields were one big mud puddle! Both her and Jace have one tonight but we'll see if it happens cause it's raining as I type! Justin's in Pocatello at a football camp probably getting rained on. I asked him this morning if he had packed some dry clothed to change into in case it rained and he said no. I asked him if he wanted to go back and get some so he wasn't in rained soaked clothes all day and again he said..."no, I'll be fine" {with an exasperated leave-me-alone-mom tone}! So him being 15 and knowing it all...I let it go {I just hope he's not freezing and ends up getting sick}! It's hard doing everything for him and double checking that he has EVERYTHING he MAY need, following him around like a shadow and nag...but like I said he's 15, he does pretty good at always getting things in order but when he doesn't and I suggest something and he doesn't listen...I then just have to say ok and hope he learns to take extra clothes next time and listen to his mama!! The weather did hold out for Halle's game last night! She is having a great time playing and played catcher last night... This next picture is my favorite... Not sure what she's doin' but she sure has her eye on the ball! Well my house is clean, the girls are playin' Mario Kart on the Wii, going to go put my dinner in the crock pot and Halle and I are off to get our hair cut and mine colored ~ cause my celestial blonde is starting to show! They called John in a day early for work so he's going back tomorrow and will work 5 days, have four off, then leave for 5 to go salmon fishing! So thankful for...1) my love/hate relationship with this rain 2) my house is actually clean and has stayed that way for the last 3½ hours 3) the rain has stopped, we may be playin' ball after all!

4 friends visiting our little house:

I agree...I think someone forgot to tell summer that it is really here! :) It has been raining over here too...and no sun...and barely hits 70! I'm ready for the heat!! Love Halle and her eye on the ball...too cute! Let's keep our fingers crossed that the sun shows its face soon!!

Wow...amazing rain picture! I also agree...enough rain. It's hard to know when to mow the lawn. Love the little Halle pic's. If you ever get tired of her, I have extra bedrooms. Hannah too!

I agree the rain is getting to the point of ENOUGH! Don't you just love your kids growing up, having a 16 year old boy I could totally relate to your situation. It is SO hard letting go isn't it. Love Halle's pink pants to go with her pant hat.

I am tried of the rain also. My kids have been rained out of ball games and are going crazy having to stay in the house. I have to say that one benefit to the rain is that my grass is green and the flowers are blooming like crazy.
