It was raining when we woke up Saturday, rained all day, and has been raining ever since! Actually that is not quite true, but it feels like it. It DID rain all day Saturday – hard – and all through the night (even harder), and on Sunday, though. The National Weather Service estimate for our area of Rochester was 11.7 inches for those 2 days! And it has rained at least part of every day since, although we got a few wonderful hours of bright sunshine in between storms Tuesday. We feel blessed and grateful that our house is still dry – we have had many ward members with flooded basements and several communities in SE Minnesota have had severe flooding. Thankfully, our biggest problem has been cooped-up kids – hence the pillow-fort on the couch for something else to do. Funny that they could sit that close together for a long time happy as could be in there but put them that close together without a fort and there is inevitably screaming, pushing and pinching within seconds. 🙂
