Tuesday

Last night we had a major thunderstorm come through here. The first thunderbolt woke me up, I was sure it was a sonic boom, it was so loud. There were about 4 of the REALLY loud thunderclaps and then we had a major rainburst. After that we all went back to sleep. This morning, Jacob came to me and said, "it rained last night, very loud!" He is doing very well in his speach and he is starting to articulate so much more! Unfourtunatly, we aren't going to be able to let any of the kids outside to play today. It is to wet outside, we have puddles and mud all over. Until we get the wood chips down this weekend, the set is in dirt. Also, we are going to plant the grass this weekend. We are going to put up a short chicken wire fence around the grass area, and netting over it to try to protect it from both the dog and the children. I just don't think it would be fair to set up the playset and then tell the kids, "Sorry, for the next three weeks you can't play on it, only look at it out of the window, because that is how long it will take for the grass to sprout!"

Telima,

I hadn't heard about the shooting in Salt Lake until you told me. It wasen't even on the news here. We are just reliving a 89 year old grandfather who killed his grandkids about a week ago. I think we should have at least heard about it! Thank you for the link.
