We had quite some rainstorms this weekend. Gives new meaning to the word "downpour" for me. You can see it totally flooded our little yard...and everything drained right into our window well. We found some water leaking into the basement...but between a lot of towels and Greg bailing out the window well every few hours...we made it through without damage! (Hopefully the maintenance men will be here in the next day or two to help do some "prevention" before another storm like that!)
Our "back patio" submerged.
The sidewalk going out to our car--you can see the grass is swimming.
We have been looking for quite a while for a "new" dining room table. We've been to Goodwill, looked on craigslist, etc. But, just haven't gotten anything yet. On Sunday it was announced in Relief Society that someone was needing to get rid of a dining table and chairs. By Sunday night it was at our home!!! It's really quite nice. Six chairs and two leaves to extend it. We're so excited to get a little "upgrade"...and feel blessed it was FREE!
I walked into Nathan and Josh's room yesterday and thought..."What is that new dresser scarf?"
When taking a closer look here's what I found.
Nathan knows that "Big Blue" is a pretty important thing in our family...so when he found it on his Teddy Bear's t-shirt he knew it would make a great decoration. It's nice to know we've passed on the "Aggie blood" to the next generation. Can you tell a boy has been very careful doing this just right?

Ha Ha, that shirt is awesome. The time that must have been taken to get the shirt perfectly taped down like that is hilarious to think about.
You know you have a True Aggie fan when they tape down the shirt in pride even during football season.
Thanks for sharing,
Brian
I love this-the table, the shirt, I love it. I can't believe your flooding problem. I thought it was bad here.
Hey, Kyle has the same comforter on his bed!! Your new table is great!! Wish I was that lucky!
haa haa, funny about the shirt! kids are just way too cute!
I know what you mean when it comes to downpours. In OK we have flodding rains. I am glad that you came through it w/o any damage.
It looks like Big Blue has an important place in your house! How cute that he took the time to place it in a special place.
Love the shirt. I always (well, usually) have to smile when I see my boys' decorating attempts. Kids have such wonderful ideas! I'd love to be included in your private blog...email:
