I just wanted to share this picture of my cute little child. I love her so much! She's not so little any more and she wants to do grown up things like shopping and picking out her own stuff. It's kinda hard to deal with!
We went to Minot last week to have our car worked on. We stayed at a different hotel than we normally do. While we were out exploring I noticed these signs were all over the hotel and restaurants nearby. I knew they had a flood but I had no idea it was this bad.
June 2011 Minot flooded. It was a super wet winter so the spring thaw made the river rise to the brim. Then Canada released extra water to prevent flooding up there which pushed the river over its limit.
When we went to the zoo last year there were signs on about half of the enclosures saying "this animal survived the flood but it's home did not. It will return Spring 2016."Now I know why the animals from the zoo had to be moved.
There are miles and miles and miles of homes and businesses that were under water. Some were under 10 feet of water!
I just went into the girls room to check on them before going to bed myself and saw that Haylee had a little reading light on. She is really good at turning it off before falling asleep; she's never fallen asleep with it in. I walked over and saw that she had turned her drawing table into an artwork stand... with a picture for the leprechaun.
Maycie is exhausted from school. They've been playing outside all day so I know she's tired. We're waiting for Haylee at the bus stop and she wants to get out of her carseat but I keep telling her no. She's been crying and crying for about 10 minutes. She just yelled to me "Mom you make my throat hurt!" When I asked how I could make her throat hurt she said "Because you won't let me out of my seat and that makes me sad and when I'm sad I cry. When I cry and scream it makes my throat hurt!"
Hmmmm... very interesting...
In the time it took to write this post she fell fast asleep!
