~Day 2• 242: amazement!!

Monday August 31:
August is over? I can't believe it. Today was an amazing day. I got home from work and was presented with a letter from our youngest, Cailee. It was a little love letter she said. In the letter she spelled out what she would like for lunch. She also mentioned that all her friends' lunches were packed by their parents. And so Cailee would now like me to pack at least one of her lunches a week for her.  The letter was very cute, and very sweet. I think I can accommodate her request.

Tonight when I took the kids to their piano lessons, I looked at the sky and it was absolutely amazing. My picture does not do it justice. There were fluffy clouds coming out everywhere. There were also dark clouds mixed in. The colors were absolutely amazing. Nick's picture captured the west side of the valley. It was absolutely amazing! Mine was on the east side, but dumpy looking compared to his. I wish he had his large camera out to grab some of the shots. I made the kids look around when I picked them up. just amazing. Have I said Amazing yet?

Then the storm blew in. It was quite a storm. BrookLynn was a little nervous at the lightning and thunder and the wind. Nick and I liked to stand out in the front and look at it. It was interesting because the wind would pick up and stop. The rain would pick up and stop. Then it would suddenly change directions.  Cailee was intrigued, but she wouldn't go past the front door. She was just hanging out halfway for most of the time. She and I were smelling the rain or the wet dirt. It was very very pretty. We kept the front door open a little bit and the back door open a little so the breeze would go through the house. It was 84° but it's also nice to have the fresh air coming into the house. We are interested to see how many trees will be down tomorrow on our  way to work. We hope no one was hurt. It was quite an amazing storm. I love this time of year!
