Rain Rain Go Away

You know that saying "Everything's bigger in Texas"? 

I must say, there's actually some truth to that. 

...especially when it comes to their rain storms.

Since we've lived here {which is only a month!} there have been three rain storms. 

Only one of them included lightening and, thus, thunder...which I find very odd.

But all three have resulted in some amount of flooding. 

{thankfully we're not in a flood zone}

When it rains it pours.

Literally.

And not to make fun, {but I'm going to} any time something falls from the sky here, 

people. get. crazy.

...well, mainly their driving...which is beyond scary to begin with...

I can't help but laugh to myself {and others around me} at these silly southerners as I imagine them driving through snow. 

{hahaha! & *sigh*}

...back to the point of this post...

With all this rain, the past week has been very gloomy and wet which makes me want to sleep, drink coffee, plan out my future crafting endeavors {but not actually do them), and peruse the pages of pretty magazines.

 I've decided that I could totally live here...

The kids, on the other hand, have busted out in all kinds of creative ways...

Breck made angry birds:

{he decided against making a giant 'stage' for them and instead has been placing them around the house with reenacted bird bombings.}

And Rowan has taken to helping herself to the nail polish:

{for a 3.5 year old, she really does a darned good job!}
