Take a Hike Ike!

It's only been raining for a little over an hour, and it's already flooded outside!

Come and get your carp out of my yard, mini!!!

Great. Now there can be a question about glowing fish on WWTBAM. Just what is IN those silver flakes, anyway? :P

I think the biohazard team will intercept the package. They may think it's anthrax or something! :P

Then I guess I'll build a balloon and have them released over your neighborhood. The kids will love it..... :P

They would, actually. They would gather them up and toss them like confetti.

After the Silly String dried, I was able to sweep it up fairly easily, but some got into the cracks between the pavers. Then when it rained, the little bits floated out of the cracks and back onto the bricks. It looked like the Easter Bunny had a New Year's party with pastel confetti around my pool.

It was actually kinda cool. And since it floats, it just goes into the skimmer and doesn't clog the filter. But it's probably loaded with those chemicals China shouldn't be using but they still tend to use anyway. Maybe my kids will start getting gills like their Uncle Carp if they swim too much....

The only bad thing is that the flakes tend to stick to the ground, so they're hard to gather....

We have some of the prettiest looking sidewalks around.....
