Today was a gorgeous day.
We usually are on the crap end of the weather spectrum, but in the past few days we have been celebrating “Hooray, we aren’t getting snow in May!”
While other places not too far away were cold and yucky and recently got snow, we had a beautiful, sunny, and warm day today. Perfect for leaving the girls home with their Daddy and going to a homeschooling convention.
I came home to wet, muddy clothes strewn around the floor, and gooey, smiley, PB&J-and-sunscreen-smeared faces exclaiming over stories of running through “mucky mud puddles” barefoot and Miss learning to move the swing by herself .
Daddy knows how to have a good time.
Today gives me hope that we are starting a warming trend again, as the past week was pretty cold and gloomy. Though we didn’t get snow (Hallelujah!), yesterday was chilly and rainy.
The girls actually loved it because they got to wear their rain boots, rain coats, and carry their umbrellas when we ran errands.
They really love their umbrellas, so I let them play outside in the rain when we got home.
Appropriately, we are talking about weather and “U is for Umbrella” in school right now.
Unfortunately, it was a little too cold and windy. They ran and splashed a bit and then Miss asked to go inside (which is unheard of).
I loved the rain play. We sang rain songs, like “Rain, Rain Go Away” and “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring.” Miss kept asking me for more rain songs, but he only other one I could come up with at the time was “Blame It On the Rain.” So I did Milli Vanilli for them, but I couldn’t remember any of the other words so just kept repeating, “Blame it on the rain! Yeah, yeah!” After the fact I thought of “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head” and “Singing in the Rain.” I’ll keep those for next time.
I’m hoping for a warm and rainy day soon.
