rain, beautiful rain

So tonight I finished a scrapbook page for the first time since before Christmas. I'll put a picture up later, maybe tomorrow, I have some new photo stitching software which I want to try out. Still haven't done my LO for the qualifying challenge at SBC ....

Boy, it's been hot here the last few days. This afternoon at about 5:15 it absolutely bucketed down, which was just wonderful - we so need the rain. Arie had to walk from the bus and was drenched by the time he got to the front door, so he got changed and was going to go out and wash the car in the rain.

While he was changing, he left the front door open and Maeve wandered down the front steps, by the time we realised where she was she was totally saturated!!! She was having a great time, so we all went out in the rain - the kids loved it, Arie washed the car and I put buckets under all the holes in our gutters, collected the water streaming off of them and put the water on the garden!!! neighbours must have thought we were nuts!! We all felt much cooler after, that's for sure!!

Hope whoever reads this has a great Australia Day tomorrow - we're off to a BBQ and then the fireworks ...
