Wet Basement

This past week has been overcast, dreary, and rainy. The gloomy, wet days were just a taster for the thunderstorm we had last night. Lightning streaked across the sky, and thunder boomed all night long. Rain and a bit of hail came down in torrents, drenching all the toys we had left outside and destroying plants.

~ I don't mind thunderstorms. In fact, I rather enjoy falling asleep with rain pouring on the roof and thunder shaking the foundations of the Earth (as long as there's a roof above my head and I'm underneath a warm blanket). Luke is quite the opposite. He covered his ears the entire night, and constantly asked us, "Is there going to be a tornado?"~

While the kids slept, my parents discovered that our basement was soaked. They stayed up until 3:30 ripping all the carpet out to protect it from the water seeping in from outside. Good job, guys!
