It's Raining........

There she is playing goalie!!!

One of the Jelly Beans bad moods, and yet, she is so cute!

Grace had her BFF over last Friday, they played with Aqua Sand, which is super fun on hot days!

The Jelly Bean, this is what we do while Grace is in school.

It’s been raining here in the lovely state of misery, Oops, I mean Michigan. Rain, then more rain, then some more to go on top of that. I think we had one sunny day, last week, Friday. My poor girls and I are stuck inside the house, and we have a finished basement to run around and play in, but Oh Yeah, that got flooded and we can’t go downstairs now because the smell of water, wet cement, and I know mold is setting in. Why not rip it out already? Right?! Well we thought we could save our carpet, a fact we now know, you CAN save carpet, it’s the padding that holds all the water. Did I mention this basement just got finished last may?!?!? Yep only 1 year old, and already having to rip it out and start over. On the bright side (here comes my sunshine) since we are going to have to rip out all the carpet to take out the padding, I suggested that we “remodel” part of the basement for a studio space. Luckily my hubby (did I ever mention how awesome he is?!) said it was a GREAT idea and he is happy to do it.

Grace has finished her first season of soccer, she says she loves it, but when we actually go to soccer, she stands around with her fingers in her mouth just watching. Well naturally on the last game of the season she played goalie, something she wanted to try and then she got to play on the field. She was on FIRE kicking that ball all over the place, she was awesome, super sweaty (totally got that from me) and I didn’t even care that she was kicking the ball towards the wrong goal, we will work on that for next year!

Then we have Jenni, who is in the “terrible two” phase. She is testing me, testing me hard, and sometimes I pass wonderfully (and yes, I am grading myself), and then other days I feel like I failed. Sometimes I just have to give up, sometimes I fight with her until I win. She is 2, it will last till she is, oh yeah, probably forever! She is smart like her sister, and full of spunk, that is why she’s my Jelly Bean!
