{a flood and a danger zone}

Well, there has been sooo much rain this spring. 

 I have LOVED it! 

It has kept it cooler and so pretty everywhere.  The only bad thing about it is that our side yard becomes a flood zone.  I mean rushing water that starts in our backyard and goes down to the street.  One day it was so cool that I decided to let my kids go out and play in it.  I put them in shorts and snow boots and light jackets and out we went.

  The kids were in heaven! 

 I am not always this cool.

We have rules and all kinds of ways we try and keep ourselves and our home clean, but it is so important to let them be kids and just get wet and dirty sometimes! 

I have to say it was a blast for all of us!

Henry is not allowed to climb up our couch and sit in the window frame.

  He knows this. 

 One day he came upstairs and told me that Eliza was stuck up in the window and could not get down.  WHAT?

  He had helped her up there and now she was stuck!  Of course, I grabbed the camera!:)  After I took pictures I TRIED to reinforce our rule about climbing up there and how it ruins the couch and you could fall and get really hurt.  I am pretty sure all he heard was "Blah, blah, blah, blah".
