Rainstorm!

The past few days have been pretty rainy around here.

Last night it started POURING rain, it was honestly pretty crazy. In fact, it's still raining now. Hasn't let up much. Being from Idaho this seriously boggles my mind. It turned thunderstorm last night, too, there was one thunderclap that about made my heart stop-- it set off a car alarm in our neighborhood!

Anyway, before all that, the kids wanted to go watch the rainstorm from the garage. I wasn't home, I was checking out our awesome new Boston Red Hyundai Veloster (or the "VeLobster" as we've fondly dubbed it- thanks Crystal) that gets.... wait for it.... FORTY mpg on the highway. Yeah. And it's not even a hybrid. It's so new they haven't even completely prepped it for owners such as ourselves to take it home. So it's still there, but I got to go sit in it. Yay!

So... sidetracked. Back to the story at hand. Derek was in charge, just fed the kids dinner and was cleaning up, doing dishes like the amazing husband he is and okay-ed the garage venture. 

Next thing he knows.....

Ooo good idea!

Shirts are superfluous in a rainstorm.

They look pretty proud of themselves. 

In case you weren't aware of what a guttersnipe/street urchin looks like, here is a picture of four of them. 

Of course my little Avril claimed to be the mastermind behind all of the shenanigans. She looks the part, eh?
