Rain, Rain, Go Away!

We've had heavy thunderstorms every day for weeks now and I'm getting so sick of it.

Our lapa is flooded again and I even had nightmares last night about our house filling up with water and me running around like a chicken without a head trying to save my children and my things! 

Our garden is also flooded and its just mud everywhere!  Its hard not to get depressed about it.  We have installed a pump to remove all the water but we literally have to switch it on every hour to pump (which we can't do at night) so by the morning we are flooded again.  We are in the process of trying to install a timer that kicks on when the water level gets too high.

I know I should be grateful for all the good things in my life so I'm going to stop griping now.  I'm going to be positive and happy.

On a different note.....




Kaylin was pretending to be Superman last night and did a quick spin around with arms outstretched, lost her balance and whacked her nose on the side of her plastic chair.  Blood everywhere!  She has now realised that she is, in fact, not Superman!  Tough lesson learned...we have packed the cape and mask away.

Hail to the Freaks of Nature

We had quite a thunderstorm at lunch time today and it was quite a sight to see.  The large rain drops turned into hail and we had a bit of fun playing.


A bowl of hail







Coming down in our front yard





Beginnings of the little balls of ice





As the hail hit the water in our swimming pool, it churned the water and steam started to rise from the pool.  It was facinating to watch.









Riaan got out the rake and collected some hail together

so the girls could make some hail-balls to throw in the air.





Throwing the hail in the air and watching in splatter.

Great Fun!

(Megan has an eye patch on because she has a very bad eye infection)





Daddy had some fun too.
