Thank God for Rainbows

Dearest Brothers,

After months without precipitation, this weekend shocked us all with rain shower after rain shower.  There's a neat lightening show going on outside as I type this and, Jax, you've already reminded me of what to do in the event of storm : )

As much as our state needed this, the sprinkles put a damper on a weekend of fun plans!  Friday night was my school's annual carnival.  It's the big PTA fundraiser for the year complete with bounce houses, dunk tanks, cotton candy - the works!  We made it through one whole ride before the sky opened up and they moved the carnival inside instead. 



Saturday was supposed to include your 3rd tee ball game of the season but the game was rescheduled due to the soggy field.  Instead, you boys spent the morning playing together.

(Your drool makes me wonder if some big teeth are trying to come through.)

(Your frequent somersaulting makes me wonder if gymnastics would've been better than tee ball.)

(Your wrestling matches make me wonder what I've gotten myself into!)

I was so excited to go back to Plano's Balloon Festival today as we had a lot of fun watching them launch last year.  However, as we pulled into the parking lot, we were told that they were calling it off due to approaching storms.  Yay for safety precautions...boo for our third event of the weekend impacted by this stuff.  So, plan B was find a nearby park and let y'all run off your energy.



And so glad for the change of plans -- because, thanks to the park, we now have this picture:


Another good thing about this rain is that it led to a gorgeous rainbow -- which led to this conversation:

Jax:  Who painted that rainbow?
Daddy:  God.
Jax:  Mommy, God painted that rainbow in the sky.
Me:  He made it so pretty.
Jax:  Why did He make such a beautiful rainbow?
Me:  To remind us of His promise.
Jax:  That was a good idea by Him.

God is good.  All the time!
