Yup strange title I know!!! But that pretty much sums up our weekend. Storms on both Saturday and Sunday mornings (that had the audacity to interfere with our plans!!!!!) and Barbies......
Saturday: Ry's company picnic was Saturday. A storm blew through right after everything got started. Ryan was there early to set up so he got to hang out and watch it move through. I had a very slow moving cranky baby and was running late. I got to drive through it, get hailed on and was pretty scared my car was going to get blown over! After the rain stopped the sun popped out and it got HOT! The jupiter jumps and pony rides were re-commenced. The only problem was the jupiter jumps were wet and slick inside - M kept slipping and did not like that one bit and the area where the pony rides were was a lubwolly - Ryan walked around with her for one ride and nearly sank to his knees. Luckily M found something to do that was very entertaining!!! With puddles puddles everywhere - whats a kid to do....... GET WET GET DIRTY HAVE FUN!
Miriam spent about two hours just playing in the puddles and the wet sand (sand volly-ball pit) she had a blast. All I can say is good thing she is washable. While she was playing in the sand she started crying, I went over to find out what was wrong.... "Mommy my shoes is dwirty" Awww my very own Carrie Bradshaw in the making.
Sunday: We were up and getting ready for church when we were once again faced with yet another storm! And this one was a doozy. We listened to it wail for about 45 minutes. And find ourselves very fortunate, we still have our house, our trees (minus a few small limbs) and our POWER! We left for church after the storm passed, missing yesterday was not an option for us, the minister that married Ryan and I and baptized Miri retired yesterday and we wanted to wish him well. We made it to church about 25 minutes late, only to find no power at the church and services delayed for a little while. We did have services, but in fellowship hall where we could open the windows and catch a breeze. The service was nice, a little (lot) more casual than if it had been up stairs, but all that really matters is the fellowship and worship shared. Afterwards we went to say hi to Nanny on the way home. Nanny apparently had a very busy weekend too. She aquired an old (early 1960s) Barbie collection over the weekend. Miri walked in and saw the collection spread over the table - "Dollys!!!! My toysssss, mine dolls!!!" She loved playing with them. Looking at all the outfits and tiny shoes.
Puddles one day Barbies the next - What else can I say we have a well rounded little girl!!!!
