those of you who are out of town know that small factoid.
Anyway, to make matters worse as far as we were concerned this summer, a pipe to one of the water wells in our city broke.The first day it broke we were told that they would be shutting off our water at some point in the night. We hurried and did whatever we to do...When we went to bed at 11 pm, they still hadn't turned it off. When we woke up around 7 the water was back on...So they either never turned it off, or they did it while everyone was sleeping.
For the next month or so they told us to conserve water and even limited watering...For the first little while there was to be no outdoor watering at all. This kinda sucked as its been such a hot summer and our lawn is still new. Needless to say, some of the lawn turned brown.
Within a couple of weeks they had repaired the pipe so that people could water 2 days a week but only during certain time periods. There was still no other use for outdoor water "permitted." They were good to say that people with very new sod could water as they needed to.
Anyway, so we've been dealing with this situation for awhile and it's been difficult all around. I finally heard that they had repaired the well and everything was fine, which also meant that we can water outdoors again and I even took the opportunity to let the kids play in the water.
My brother gave Lex a little water t-ball thing for his birthday that we had only been able to use one time...So yesterday as I was bored and needed to get outdoors, I decided to let the kids play in that again. Tanis & Shaylyn had a great time...Lex, however, wasn't too fond of all the water . Maybe in time...
