school's closed?

i got a text message, from my neighbor, last night that school would be closed today due to the flooding in Clarksville, TN.
what?
no one cleared this through me!
i am not prepared for two extra kids on a tuesday...
huh?
oh boy.
i was bummed.
don't judge me.
i enjoy the time that my boys spend at school.
they enjoy it too!
i would have never thought that the flooding in Nashville would effect little 'ol Clarksville.
it did.
or, maybe the Nashville floods didn't effect Clarksville but, the storms did.
clear as mud?
have you heard of the Historic Flooding in Nashville??
it's unbelievable!
sad.
disappointing.
going to be expensive.
prayerfully, it doesn't effect the Nashville we have come to LOVE.
or, the Clarksville we have come to love!

so, what does one do with four kiddos on a tuesday when she is used to only two?
hmmmm...
pray for a friend to come over to play?
or ten?
ten it is...
or was.




"mom! get outta here!!"



yep, this was the scene at my front door.
ten water weapon happy little boys hanging out.
for a second i imagined them all as teenage boys and prayed the Lord would allow my house to be the "hang out" house ten years from now....
then they got loud.
ummm, God, may i resend that prayer?

seriously, these boys had so much fun!
(good thing my water bill is free!)
they were out there for 4 hours, at least.
