Last night a Monsoon tore thru Mesa with a vengeance! It was exciting, and for the kids a little scary. The lightening lit up the windows and the thunder shook the walls! And for the first time since moving out of WA I enjoyed it! The rain was refreshing, and fun watching the lightening from our patio with the kids. Actually put me in a happy mood. How strange. I had grown to loathe the grey skies and rainy weather that was so everyday, day in and day out, in WA.
That this feeling of enjoying it is foreign to me. Well the grass will be a little greener and the orange trees received plenty of water.

I have another swimdate planned with Jenny today though. And the weather although warm, is looking a little iffy for a day of fun and sun. Might need to devise a new plan.....but what? Today is Jenny’s Birthday though, and I am surprising her with a cake to celebrate it. But how to entertain all 5 kids INSIDE has me a little nervous.

This week-end will be her baby shower as well. Not the normal run of the mill baby showers with all the cheesy games that are played. (Although they can be fun) This will include the hubbys and the kids, swimming and BYOB. Now that’s my kinda of baby shower! And I’ve no doubt all the hubbys would agree.

Well back to work. My house is always on the verge of being too cluttered for company. So I’m always last minute spot picking up and cleaning. This place is going to have to be douched if I plan on having a blogger get-together here. Which I do, so I’ll have to. Clean it, that is.
