We fell asleep last night to the sound of rain and thunder. I layed their in silence, counting the seconds between thunder and lightning, wondering how long it would be before I'd hear one of the children pitter-patter their feet into our room. Surprisingly, they all slept through (the little boys even slept until 7:30)! Miracles happen people!
The rain was still falling when I woke and I was greeted by happy children. A part of me was glad for the rain. After a busy couple of days I was looking forward to spending a quiet day at home with my littles. I spent the morning throwing laundry through our newly fixed washer while the children quietly played. I took advantage of the extra tidy basement and vacuumed with Finley's help. It always takes twice as long, but his big grins make it worth it! I also chuckled when he snuggled up to Tucker and gave him some loves. He always says, "Dood boooo-ey...." (good boy) when Tucker sits nice. It's the sweetest thing to listen to.
A rainy day wouldn't be complete without a quick project!
In the late afternoon, when the rain let up, we all walked up the street to pick up some fresh farm eggs. It rained pretty good on the way back and Finley was tickled. "Nain! It's nainin'!" He would repeat as he grinned at the sky and let the rain fall on his soft little cheeks.
I snuck a picture of these two washing their dino's in the sink. I love rainy days for the imagination and play that happens.
While I cooked dinner, Finley hung out on the stairs anxiously awaiting Daddy's arrival. When he heard the garage door open he got so excited!
The older two got the giggles super bad at the dinner table. It took everything in me to let them keep going. As bedtime approached, the sun came out for the first time all day. When their little friends came by and asked if they could play, I let them run to the park for some fresh air and sunshine. They played on the swings and jumped in puddles as the sun dipped behind the rooftops. This is what Summer time is for!
