When it rains...

We've a week of crazy weather here! We had another dust storm earlier in the week for a few days, followed by a crazy rainstorm that flooded the streets and turned them in to mini rivers with rapids! Here's the dust storm...
Getting ready for school before the big rain. Thankfully we had rain boots for the boys. I  was shin high in water and pouring it out of my shoes after the school drop off. No drainage here!
This picture really does not do the road justice, I haven't seen rain like this in a while. So this weekend, we are ordering raincoats and umbrellas, and maybe even rain boots for the adults. That's what happens when you spend a couple of years living in the desert and only seeing rain a handful of times during our entire time there!
One of Benjamin's classmates posted a picture of their balcony on their class group chat we get on our phone. About 3/4 of Benjamin's class and 1/2 of Caleb's class stayed home on Thursday. Guess this is what we have in store for the rest of fall and the winter. Enjoying the change in weather, despite the crazy storms.
