The rain began Thursday afternoon and it rained and rained and rained through Sunday - 25.12 inches later and we are hoping to see no rain for a long tine! We did have some flooding in the garage but nothing that caused a disaster. We were certainly luckier than most who suffered substantial damage.
We played inside... a lot!
We played some good board games and the whole crew was happy....
Day two and Mommy and Tripp are playing trucks and bulldozers on the floor... in general we all remain happy and no one is stir crazy yet...
Day three time to get out of the house! The rain couldn't stop us from a throw-down at Chuck-e-Cheese... We were thrilled to be eating some SUPER TASTY pizza, inserting coins like we were winning big at the slot machines... helping the kids slam the turtles back into their shells and watching the two tickets pop out for good effort
Don has found a secret game that will spit 10 or more tickets out at a time. After some major hits on the ticket collection it was time to practice their shot...
they're lookin' serious about knockin off the bad guys...
We quickly challenged Don to "Operation"... he assured us that his abilities in the game were not comparable to his abilities on the body...
The red nose on the patient beeped a good bit so we were relieved to know that!
When asked the best part of Chuck-E-Cheese...
the prizes of course!
We landed 198 tickets and with that Juliette was so thrilled with a little plastic lizard that she could prank Tessa and Doh with, a tiny box of nerds and a tootsie roll
Tripp was so thrilled with two tiny packages of nerds and two tootsie rolls!
$45 later and we had some super happy children!
Day four and now we're gettin' real around here...
"Smile and say cheese!"
Yup, Thomas is bored of smiling and finds it to be much more enjoyable yanking on his Sister's hair...
His Sister screeches and we have the Mama with her smile going on determined to get a good shot!
Kinda like the rain... we may have been attempting that the rest of the night...
By the evening after three different outfits on she has decided she is going somewhere...
with her beanie boos stuffed in her "purse" and a drink filled with grapes on top...
where you ask?
"Mommy, anywhere!"
So we compromised on a picnic in the house...
The babies were sure they wanted in on that fabulous indoor picnic too!
by the end of the picnic not even the dog could lay on her bed another minute... she decided the floor was a bit different and maybe she just needed her bed for a small pillow...
And this my friends is the last scene of the evening!
As we are over any indoor activities so too were we over the rain!
Not even the trucks and bulldozers could keep this little fella awake!
And by day four just as the rain began to dry out we had some slap happy kiddies around 9:30 that night!
And the beauty is as Juliette assured me, "Mommy like Annie says, the sun will come out tomorrow!"
