day three-storms

picture this...
a sump-pump that works. and works well.

i have no idea how much rain we got last
night and to be honest, i really havent'
watched much television since i've been
here so i didn't know it was supposed to
storm.
mom, (9 as she's called) mentioned it
so i went out and prepared the pool for
rain (covered, and put the water sucker
on top and plugged it in. anne will be
so proud of me!). oh, shocking it too, anne.
pete & anne, you now have 3 water hazards.
the pool and the two sandtraps (full of water!)

one of emily's friends came over to play
yesterday so the three girls spent the
afternoon in the house...a nice break
for me. so i went and watered all the plants
outside and the sod that's not getting hit
by the system...that must have sinched the
rain storm for sure,
oh, and sidebar...my sister's phone
rings off the hook! now i understand
why she doesn't always call me right back!
i'm beginning to understand a LOT of things!

anne & pete called at 6pm (9am there)on the
voice over internet thing..so cool.
which of course made for a perfect distraction
for the girls to not finish their dinner!
kids are tough to feed...duh, right?!~

bath night. FINALLY! i seriously think that
because they are wet all day from the pool,
these girls think they are clean. :)
sorry about the mr. bubble in the jacuzzi :(
NOT my idea.

by popular demand, we invited emily's friend
back over around 8:30 to do some giant
sparklers...that was fun.

their aunt "josie" is coming for a visit today
which will allow me to get to a meeting in
eden prairie. gary said he picked up my
laptop, so i'll stop by and get that this
afternoon. yay!!

well, did i forget anything? oh, yes...
i got a call from a friend yesterday whose
friend has a son that is graduating (just
moved into the area), and needs his sr.
portraits done, so i'll do that next week.
thanks steve!

have a great day...photos to follow.
so many to choose from now! :)
Hi Dean & Lois! hope all is well.
anne & pete~we are all having a good time.
emily got down all the photos of you two
from the landing and put them on the
livingroom table for amanda yesterday
when she was missing you. it was really
sweet! :) kisses&hugs!
