Thankful for rain...

I LOVE THE RAIN!!

I love listening to it hit the roof in the middle of the night, i love watching it fall while eating breakfast, i love driving in rain, i love to go shopping while it rains, and I love watching my kids play in it. I remember as a child after a big rain my dad would take us across the street to the church parking lot and let us splash and swim, and ride out bikes through what seemed like waist deep water. It was like Christmas to pull out the rain boots, coats, and umbrellas out of the hall closet to go play! I loved pretending, I loved the imagination of it all!

During the last 2 weeks of rain Bronson has LIVED outside in it! Loving every second! This day he went through 6 different outfits, 3 coats, 3 pairs of shoes, finally resorting to shorts so "his pants wouldn't get wet". That lasted all of 2 minutes! Oh well, I loved watching him try to ride his bike while holding the umbrella, talk to the birds, play on the "soggy" tramp, and use his imagination. I remember these days well, i hope he will too.
