Meet Ryan.
Meet Mark.
Both are football players for their 7th grade team. Ryan is at the quarterback position, and his friend Mark is a receiver. They decided to get in a little extra practice on Saturday before their first game this week.
Obviously, a little rain didn't stop them.
No sirree...after months and months AND MONTHS of no rain whatsoever, a little rain and mud didn't bother them one bit.
And because my lawn was extremely happy, I was happy...and I didn't mind one bit either.
As you can see, I took lots of pictures. ;)
Emma was dying to get in on the action, but that was where I drew the line. I knew I would have to be the one to clean her up, and truly, I wasn't THAT excited about the rain.
After Ryan had had enough mud, we headed home. Thank goodness the field was just down the block as there was no way Ryan was getting in my car! I had driven over with Emma when the boys were already playing as it was pouring rain. It had pretty much stopped by the time we made it to the field. Anyway, I drove back while the rest of the gang headed home on foot.
Emma raced to get to the house before her Daddy. Ryan already had the hose...
Until Roland turned it on him!
Hey, I was happy for him to get most of the mud off. And Emma, well, she just wanted to get wet.
Later on Sunday, my brother had posted on his Facebook page that he and his family were at the Humane Society *looking* at dogs - emphasis on looking. A bit later, I saw that he had updated with a picture of not one, but TWO cute little puppies in a basket with a pink collar on one and a blue collar on the other. OMG!
Both Emma and I are allergic to cat and dog dander and that is one among many other reasons why we don't have a pet ourselves. That has never stopped Emma from absolutely LOVING animals - dogs especially. When she saw the puppies her cousins now owned, she begged and pleaded and pleaded and begged for us to take her over so she could meet them.
Needless to say, it was love at first sight.
This is Kona on the left and Heelo (not sure if I'm spelling that right) on the right.
We had a hard time tearing her away from the two pups. She was especially in love with the girl, Kona.
Since we left, all we've heard is how much she wants to go back! I don't blame her, they are pretty cute. I can only wish my brother and SIL good luck in dealing with TWO puppies - yikes!
