Summer fun

I walked into Joseph and Lizzie's room the other day to find this. Evidently one must be naked to play with trains! Bet you guys didn't know that!

Lizzie in the cute bakers hat that was in her stocking last year for Christmas. She loves to be in the kitchen whether it's cooking or eating.

It's been raining for a long time here, and it finally let up for a little while yesterday. The kids played out at the park, and had a blast swimming under the swings in the mud hole. Red clay, sand and water mix together for some fun times. Scrubbing the girls' hair afterward wasn't quite as fun, and Joseph's white underwear will never be the same!

We had a severe storm come through last week and this is what it did to the entrance to our neighborhood. Lightning hit the base of the tree just off the edge of the road and ripped across to the other side. It blew the asphalt out so hard that the water lines were busted underneith and the chunks of road were found on the roof of the house just behind where I was standing to take the picture.
