We had quite the storm last night in Eastern Iowa. The clouds rolled in, the rain came down and the lightning and thunder was abundant. Seth took this pic off our deck afterwards when it started to brighten back up.

White noise, blowouts and messy suppers.

On our way home from a visit to Grand Rapids this weekend, we stopped at our favorite place for custard goodness:
While we were sitting at the booth waiting for our food Levi let out what we call at our house, “a pop.” Hoping that Levi has learned some of the manners we have been trying to implement, I said, “Levi, what do you say?” He turns and says, “I popped.” With as straight of a face as I can muster, I say, “and then what do you say?” He matter-of-factly says, “I popped in my chair.” What a proper little boy.
