The biggest puddle ever....

After a REALLY bad storm last Friday the girls decided to look for rainbows. Well, we found a rainbow, but we also found the biggest puddle I have ever seen! It was at the end of our bock and it was a result of WAY too much rain coming down WAY too fast. Needless to say, a few innocent jumps in the puddle turned into this.........

Our puddle....., yes, I am taking the picture from that far away and I'm still standing in the puddle!!

And down they go!

Don't even ask?!?!?

Anyway, well, crap, I guess I'm not doing such a good job with blogging lately. Sorry, we've been spending most of our days at the pool since the weather has finally changed to more summer-like conditions. Let's see....

Rylee had her first swim meet last Monday and did great!! She swam the 25 meter freestyle, 25 meter butterfly and in the free relay. On the way out of the meet I was met at my car by another swim team parent. She informed me that as she tried to get around my car she cut it a little too close and hit my rear bumper. She claims that she was braking but my entire corner is pushed in so I think she got the brake and the gas confused. Okay, no big deal right?? We exchanged information and I thought all was well. WRONG!! Guess who went on vacation the next day and has yet to call her insurance company!!

So, now I am stuck because they can't release authorization to fix my car until they hear from her. So here I sit with a crappy looking car and there's nothing I can do until she gets her butt back from the beach. Lovely, huh??

But, anyway, let's move onto happier things, shall we?? We had a "block wide" yard sale this morning and got rid of a bunch of stuff! The crib, changing table and bassinet were all gone within the first hour. Rylee and Avery also had their first lemonade stand set up. They were so cute, during the "down" times they went around to the neighbors trying to sell to them. I think their grand total was $18 and it will all go towards snacks at the pool.

Well, I'd love to write more but I'm just spent. I worked last night, got home around 11:30, went to bed around 1:00, got up at 5:30, did the yard sale and then went to the pool for the afternoon so I'm ready to pass out! Rylee has another swim meet tomorrow, hopefully I'll remember my camera this time so check back in a few days for swim team pics!!
