a break

It was such a lovely week weather wise.  Such a break from the oppressive dry heat.  We got 2/10th of an inch of rain.  The most we've had since June.  The boys were so excited.  We all sat and watched the rain for the entire 10 minutes it came.  A nice little break to our evening.

With the break in weather, we didn't get a break in health.  All three came down with Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease.  Not fun to have or take care of.  Things like that always happen with Nathan is out of town.

We spent as much time as we could outside hoping the wonderful weather would get all the sickies away.  I'm sure it helped. 

That and soup.  A family favorite.

And paints!

And catapults!

And breaking ice blocks to find treasure.

And finding sweet random acts of kindness tucked into your car.

And tomatoes.

And finishing a big knit for a special person.  That always makes one better.
