I have just previewed my previous posts and I am so excited. I am finding all sorts of fun things to do with this.
The video of the kids was cut short, I don't know why, but you get the general idea of what the creek looks like normally.
Needless to say, I am taking full advantage of this rainy day stuff and having a great time doing things here on the computer. I hope you enjoy watching things. I will write about what happens this afternoon when it is time for the kids to come home. It should be interesting.

Post as promised
The kids just can't stay away from the creek. Here they are playing at their favorite place.
I like it because I can see them from the porch and they can see me. Also, Bitsy always goes with them so that is added security. Usually, though, I go with them too.
Here is what it looks like normally. The tree in the middle by the bridge video is the one in front of Jesse. Amazing!!
Rain, rain go away
We seem to somehow have missed the "Thou shalt build an Ark......"
It began to rain last night and hasn't stopped. Chad left with the boys this morning to catch the bus. The water was already over the bridge but still passable. Well.....just watch the videos!
He hasn't returned yet. I hope the rain stops long enough for the creek to recede a little so that Chad and the boys can return home today, otherwise, I don't know what we will do.
Anyone up for a little swim??
Next post I will post video of the kids at the creek just a couple of days ago. It will give you a better idea of the fun we are having here!

Grandma video
I finally figured out the video thing here.
This was taken when we were all out for Nicole and Alex's wedding. Notice Grandma's face when Luke is put next to her. She just couldn't keep from loving on him. I think this is one of the sweetest things I have seen in a long time.

What fun!/Alas!
Today, the kids had a primary activity. Chad and I decided to go and test drive a new Ford car(we had received a card in the mail stating that if we did so, we would receive a $25 gift card--so what the heck--) We decided on a new Ford Taurus X. They are real pretty cars.
We had Jesse with us, as he isn't old enough for the Primary activity. I had hyped it up with him hoping he would be excited about going for a ride in a different car. Obviously, I didn't do the job sufficiently well (he doesn't deal well with change of any kind, unless initiated by him). It took about 15 minutes to get him in the car seat I had switched over. He then proceeded to cry and scream --only a little--for a few more minutes. The car drove nicely and he soon began to enjoy the new adventure. Chad pulled over to let me drive it back to the dealership and that brought on a whole new wave of sadness/anger/whatever. This one, however, lasted a much shorter time. By the time we got back, he was happy and liking the new car.
Thankfully, though, when we put his seat back in our car, he was even happier. Kids....so much fun. The kids had a great time at their activity and we had fun going around town without three of them.
Now to the 'Alas'. It is allergy season and this year has hit me pretty hard. The kids are missing me coming outside with them because I just can't. I'll be glad when all this pollen is washed away with the spring rains.
This blogging stuff is pretty fun. I hope to be able to sit down and put my thoughts out there often!
