Rain, Rain, Go Away

Quite the rainy and stormy weekend we had around here. We had to camp out in the basement 2 times in the last 24 hours due to tornado warnings. Do I need to keep some toys in the basement at all times for our trips down there this summer? Let's hope not. Today, Henry's toy of choice was a beer-can-chicken holder. It made the most beautiful sound to his ears each time he would bang it on the metal chair I was sitting on.

Can you say windy? Here's how Mother Nature redecorated our furniture outside today. I have to thank the good Lord above that we we were safe in our basement and had no damage to our home. I had no idea just how bad the storm/tornado was that went through North Minneapolis until I watched the news later in the evening. Oh, do we feel bad for those people :(

Henry had his last day of swimming lessons this weekend. Katie took this superb action shot of Henry emerging from the water after a bob (aka being dunked:) Crazy as it may seem at the ripe old age of 11 months now, but Henry's teacher decided it would be best for him to repeat this class again in the future, therefore she didn't progress him to the next level:)

Henry's favorite discovery of the weekend.....the toilet paper holder! At first, he would just spin and spin and spin the roll, but he was spinning in the right direction where the toilet paper would stay on.....

.....well, that didn't last too long!

I wonder when I'll ever get to go to the bathroom by myself again?

And that was our weekend in a nutshell....plus a trip to Target of course, plus a baby shower for baby Pricco, plus a quick trip to the park between storms today, plus coffee with the Krump's, and plus church last night...sitting/walking around in the 'little angels' room!
