Who'll stop the rain???

We're in the rainy season in Hawaii, and boy does it rain! Wed night into Thursday am, we got about 12" of rain in about 12 hours. Then it rained more on Friday, and Saturday, and today (Sunday) we've gotten a little rain but not a lot. A lot of areas on Oahu are flooded, apparently this is the worst flooding they've had since 2004 when it rained for 40 days and nights (I didn't realize the biblical flood was only back in 2004!). We're on high ground, so we haven't had problems so far, but I really do hope it stops raining soon. We're out of hot water (from the solar panels) and the electric heater doesn't seem to be kicking in, so I guess we'll have to have it looked at soon.

Here are a couple pictures from our yard with all the rain.

Since it was rainy, it seemed like a good day yesterday to decorate our gingerbread house. I had bought a kit at Sam's club and the kids had a really good time decorating it. Since it is so humid with all the rain, the candies started getting soggy already, so they started munching away on it before all the sugar melts :)
