Rain and Rainbows

Last Tuesday or Wednesday it was H-O-T in between the clouds and rain, so Wendy, Jen, and I broke out the kiddie pools for a little backyard pool fun. The water was C-O-L-D, but the kids didn't seem to mind. :)

Friday afternoon it started raining while we were playing outside. The kids didn't want to come inside, so I let them play in the rain and they LOVED it!

That evening, when it stopped raining, there was a huge rainbow in the sky. I couldn't get the whole thing in one frame. I love rainbows, they remind me that God is there, no matter what may be happening in life, I love to think of rainbows as a little hug from God Himself.

My friend, Amber, came over for dinner and to spend the evening with us. The kids loved her, even though Kate had a hard time remembering her name. When we asked her who she wanted to read her her bedtime stories she said, "Ummm......THAT girl." :)

Other funny Kate sayings from the week....."Mommy, my mouth is growlin' " - Not sure what that meant exactly.

Kate was singing a song and we heard her sing "...Mary, Mary, Mary....life is out of steam." - Interpretation - Merrily, Merrily, Merrily...life is but a dream.

We are spending as much time as possible in the pool this week. It is too H-O-T to do much else. :)
