Day 313: After the storm

A large thunderstorm swept across us rather quickly, leaving a nice sunset on the other side. Jamin was able to wait it out. I was just about ready to get Zaria out of bed and go pick him up so he wouldn't have to drive his scooter in the storm, but it only lasted about a half an hour.

Day 243: Cookies on a rainy day

I made some cookies today for a girls' night taste test night-- we're bringing some food item with both generic and name-brand ingredients to see if there really is a difference. So I made chocolate chip cookies with both Cub brand chips and Hershey's. Zaria was pretty ill today and only joined me for a little while in between naps. Hopefully all her sleeping today will mean she'll be much better tomorrow.

Below is Jamin with his new hat and my umbrella (since it's the only one we could find right away). It's a pretty silly hat as it is. I believe his word is "jaunty". It was even more ridiculous pairing it with this umbrella, so I had to capture the moment.

Day 220: Rain snow

Supposed to get some snow, but so far it's mostly rain filling the "lake" in the middle of our lawn again.

Day 16: Rainy day

We actually don't have a pond in our run-off area of the yard, but this, uh, puddle grew pretty big. I caught it after it went down a ways.
