That's a lot of water!

Well, our weekend started out good but ended in a bit of a disaster. We spent the day together with a bonn fire going to clean up some brush. My husband had to cut up a couple of trees that came down during past storms. Mikhail saw the hard hat sitting there afterwards and had to try it on. It was too heavy and big for him and kept sliding all over his head. :) He still thought it was a cool hat.

I took a few fall photos in the yard

It poured all night and all day the next day. Before we knew our sump pump quit our basement was buried 2 feet in water in some places. It was a mess. That was on Sunday. On Monday the weather didn't let up and our city ended up flooding. There were lots of closures because of flooding. My photos are after the floods let up and the roads were reopened, so you'll have to 'picture' it.

moving the trailers...

the water was across the road here...

and here...

this park was deep enough for a boat. although it quite often floods during storms I never saw it as bad as it got that day.

So that was the excitement of the week!

Oh, that and Emma's cast was finally taken off! She has to do exercises to get her wrist back the way it was and now I just have to watch and see if her growth plate will be alright. I hope so.

Here's this week's challenge for Lotus Paperie. The challenge is to use packaging that your supplies came in! Mikhail has his own Fisher Price camera and when he first had it he would always have the camera turned the wrong way, towards himself, and he would proceed to take multiple photos of his little mouth and nose. :)

I used the cardboard backing to frame the photos...

Here is the before...

That's about it this week, thanks for peeking!
