A birthday Party and randomness

The torrential rain from Tropical Storm Lee continued for many days straight with little respite.  It turned our front yard into a swimming pool and we were wondering if we needed an ark.  We were VERY thankful that we don't have a basement, because we had two friends have flooding in their basements.
You can also see the tree that blew over in Hurricane Irene.

Owen was invited to a birthday party at a place called Pump It Up - it turned out to be an indoor area filled with inflatable toys.  This one is an obstacle course that was a hit.

Running and jumping his little heart out.

For some reason he thought he would give this car a whirl.

In the end the winner was this giant slide - he made quite a few runs.

So Beki went to JoAnn's Fabrics needing some thread for her sewing machine and a little bit of fabric for some mending.  They were having a sale on remnants and this was one of them - when the boy saw it there was no stopping us from buying it - it is Maryland and that is where we live and mommy goes to the University of Maryland - so it came home with us too, but was not used for what mommy thought it was going to be used for.  Soon it was used to make R2-D2 Owen.

For the full experience.

This is a giant praying mantis that landed on our storm door - it freaked us out so we thought we would share.

We also paid off Sammy the Silver Santa Fe and finally have our TITLE - so we can check them off our list of people we owe money too, now to tackle the rest.  Hopefully he will run really well for at least 2 more years so we can get a little bit a head.
