Hope Talks About The Rain

Hi everyone! Hope here. Nana said it was good to share so I'm here to share my thoughts about all the rain that has been falling on our house.

Last night I was watching Moose A Moose with Nana ...



It was so cozy.

This morning I woke up and had a wonderful breakfast. I love yogurt.

After breakfast and play mat time I had a nice nap.

And then the day got complicated ...



I heard Nana and Mommy in the carport. They were talking about water and rain and floods and basements. I know they heard me calling. It took forever for someone to come.



Finally! Nana came to get me. She was soaking wet.

We went to the side door and there was my Mommy ...



We are calling this photo 'Mommy Saves The Basement'.

She set up the big pump and the long blue hose and she made the water run away.

I was thinking about how last week I was in the yard ...



and there was sun, with no water.

And I went to the park ...



and there was sun, with no water.

Mommy says Daddy is coming home from work early because the pump is very heavy and we need to run more blue hose and Mommy isn't that big and Nana's cane went all the way down in the mud and she almost fell down.

It's a lot to deal with ...



I know I look worried but I'm really just wondering when I can go to the park again.

I know that Mommy and Nana are saving the basement.

Because Girls Rock!
