It's Raining, It's Pouring

Yes it is Spring time in the Midwest so that means it is rainy season. Sean and I were lucky enough to discover that the previous tenants had not cleaned the gutters so when we had a huge rain storm our basement got water. Luckily, (I guess) it was just in my craft room. All of Killian's toys were safe, the new carpet and new walls Sean put up were safe. We had to pull up the carpet in my room and let it air out. Sean also took care of the gutters so this would not happen again- because of the gutters anyways. We live on a cul-de-sac now and our house is the lucky house with the sewer drainage. We watched as the water kept getting higher and higher. It got to the point that our sidewalk disappeared and when I had to pull into the driveway we were basically floating. Killian loved all the rain. She thinks it is so much fun when mommy splashes water all over the car. And I promise I will no longer aim for the big puddles or try to splash the high school kids walking home.

This is the view from our front door. There should be a sidewalk where the street sign is.

 Bye Bye giant driveway curb!

On a much happier note Killian is such a goofball. She loves to play with the empty paper towel rolls. I think she has a hidden stash of them in her room.
