Raining Cats and Dogs

It's raining here...it rains a lot more than I ever thought it would. I normally hate rain and would rather have pretty snow than rain but the past couple of days the low has been 65* so I'll take warm rain. The biggest problem with rain is that I don't take the dogs for a walk...selfish I know. So here we are the 4 of us all all couped up in the house. This gives me time to work on some projects and make sure I have things in order before Christmas vacation. This gives the animals time to go wild! Bear is the only one brave/dumb enough to want to spend the same amount of time outside as if there isn't a torrential down pour happening. He seems to actually enjoy it outside. It's like one huge water bowl outside. *Yum*

This is early in the afternoon. This was the first outing in the rain I can't believe how flooded it is!

Obviously Bear wasn't sure what to think at first.

Nothing like the taste of muddy water!

And my two little girls who refiuse to get their paws wet watch from inside.

Notice all the towels there to help dry him off.

While I'm not a huge fan of the rain at least I have something to amusse me

Rain Updates

Today momma #2 (better known as my mother in law) called to check in on us and asked me if I had my hurricane supplies ready...uhhh no I don't think so because I don't know what that means. She told me I needed to fill my bath tube with water so that if something happened at least the dogs would have clean water to drink...and if it was really bad I suppose I would drink it too....glad it's not really bad! Not that the bathtub isn't clean I did a good wipe down with a Mr. Clean magic eraser but I'm sure you understand. So while I was waiting for the tub to fill up I decided to take some pictures of the bathroom. This is our guest bathroom in case you're wondering. I am in love with this bathroom because all the pictures are from Aruba (our honeymoon location) and that just makes me so happy every time I see a picture of that beautiful island.

I love the chocolate brown in this shower curtain!


This is what the front looked like in the AM before the storm really hit.



This is what it looks like now. Yes, I realize that you can't really see much but doesn't it just look scary out there in the dark!

I wish that you could really see in this photo that our backyard is flooded! As in when I step out in the grass water covers my boots up to my ankle and probably more toward the fence as we are on a slight hill. I had to walk out there in an attempt to get the dogs to go out to potty. The rain isn't supposed to stop for hours but so far there isn't any water in the garage....let's keep it that way!

This hurricane/tropical storm turned out to be nothing more than a really bad rain storm...the wind is intense and the rain hasn't let up all day. The power went out for about 30 seconds as soon as E started to make dinner...which was really just plain funny.

I was once again nervous for nothing

Ida Go Away!

There's a Hurricane comming.....nope....now it's a tropical storm! But people are still being asked to evacuate and E's class has been cancelled for tomorrow and he's coming home early today! wooohooo....cause I do not want to do this alone or rather just me and 3 wild animals! I've never been through a hurricane without my mommy! haha yes, I'm nervous. But I did bring all of our stuff in off the back porch. I was able to get a hold of the vet to make the reservation for the kitty over Christmas time. *sad face* She cant' come with us when we go home. And I scheduled to have the sofas cleaned before the in laws get here at thanksgiving. I am being very productive while I try not to sit and wonder how hard the storm will hit us!
