The Rains Came Down

Today was such a beautiful day! I opened all the windows trying to get all the stale winter air out, and fill the house with wonderful spring air! We haven't been out much in this nice weather since I've been nursing sick kids back to health since spring break. So open windows and birds chirping were just what I needed as I've been spring cleaning.

Right as we were getting ready to leave for mutual tonight it started pouring rain. We quickly enlisted the children and started closing all the windows.

Then Brian said "trees are falling."

We all ran to the window he was at to see. Right then another huge gust of wind came and knocked over my new lamp. Breaking it in a million pieces. While I was heart broken over my lamp Brian said the basketball hoop is down. So we headed out to see the damage. And it landed on the side of our car! Uggggh

So in about 30 seconds our beautiful day with all the windows opened turned into a bummer of an evening with a few $$ in damages!

But did I mention I played all day with this little beauty! She wasn't interested in getting those baseboards cleaned, and who was I to argue!
