Rain

I don't think K even knew what rain actually was before last Thursday, when it finally rained. I couldn't help but think how nobody was singing that song "Rain rain go away, come again some other day..." Nope, around California that song has been banned, just in case it works. 

As soon as I saw the sprinkles I ran to the back of the kids closets and dug out every piece of rain gear they had. Boots, jackets...well that's it. The boots and jackets. I hyped it all up saying "cmon kids! Its raining!! We get to wear our rain gear!! It's raining! Let's wear our rain gear!!"  I was so excited about the rain, I kept thinking about how it may be the only day it rains all year, the only time they will be able to actually use their rain gear. 

 I'll admit. I felt kinda pathetic making such a big deal out of  a few hours of rain. I felt like a dieter who just cracked and stuffed a dozen donuts in their mouth. But it was sooo gooood!  It didn't stop me and I'm not ashamed. I dragged the kids out into the rain  heavy mist and took this picture.
We're still prayin' for a healthier dose of rain this year!
