Scared of thunder

We've been having the worst weather the last few weeks, tons of rain and not very hot. Last week-end the high for the day was 10C. Jayna keeps asking me if we can have hot chocolate to warm up. It doesn't even really feel like summer anymore. It's kind of depressing to be honest, but since no one really wants to hear about that, here are the couple times we were able to enjoy the storms.

One of the only good things about living in a construction zone





Jayna has this new face she makes all the time, it's so funny! I don't know where she got it from, but she usually just makes it when she feels embarrassed or uncomfortable or doesn't know what to say. I'm so glad I happened to catch it on camera.


There was a huge thunder storm and it hailed so much it looked like it had snowed. Kepler and Jayna were both scared of the storm. Kepler wouldn't let me put him down or open the door because he was scared the storm would come inside. He kept saying "Mommy, I scared of thunder!"


When Gibb got home he collected a bunch of hail and put it in the sink for the kids to play in. Random, I know, but this is what happens when it's supposed to be summer and you're desperate for fun.

I LOVE the mud puddle pictures...especially the one of Kepler sitting in it. I can't decide if he's about to cry, or if he's yelling about how awesome being in the mud is! :) We didn't get ANY hail at our house yesterday...weird hey? Just crazy rain. We filled the sink with snow a couple of times last year when we didn't feel like bundling Cohen up to go outside. It's good times! And to further add to the longest comment of my life...cute snowboarding pics, too! I'm impressed that your kids even know what snowboarding is! :)

I love all the action shots! So fun! Except, I would think that it would be "bad" to live in a construction zone BECAUSE of all the mud, ...I'd rather them play in "clean" puddles! Haha!
And what a cute face Jayna makes! Love it! Can't wait to hang out tomorrow!

It has been a crappy summer...too much rain and not warm enough! That means we should get our real summer now until December right...right? I love the capture of Jayne jumping in the puddles!
