In a matter of minutes...

Yesterday morning Buck came home from a Sunday morning meeting at 8:40 for a bowl of cereal and when he went to go back to the church at 8:50, he found this on the driveway.


The water main broke right in front of our house sometime after he got home and flooded the driveway, garage and a tiny bit of the backyard. In addition it sent a whole load of water down to the other side of the block...enough to make people come to see where the water was all coming from.

My half-dressed kids wanted to be out in the mess very badly.

After the water got shut off, we came outside and Grace had to play in the mud despite all my requests of her to stay out of it.

Our neighbors are all so awesome. They came over once the guy from the city was able to find the valve to shut off the water and helped Buck get all the water out of the garage and off the driveway. Thanks for all the help!
