Hurricane Ike

Rain, Rain, go away!!! Yesterday the rain started and it hasn't stopped. It rained all night. The weather reports are saying that we can get up to 12 inches of rain here in KS all as a result of Hurricane Ike....I don't think it has even hit land yet, or maybe it did, but we are sure feeling the wet here. My sump pump goes off every minute and runs for approx 20 seconds each time. So technically, from the time it stops til it starts running again is less than a minute. I went down to check it and it sounds like someone has a faucet just pouring water into the sump! I'm just happy we moved into our new house....the last house had a leaky basement!

Gabe had another cross country meet, he was lucky the rain held off until they were done. I'm not sure what he placed, but he ran the mile in 6:39! I'm such a proud mother! Ithink the most fun the kids had was to stop at Wendys after the meet and eat together. They are bonding well as a team of 9.
