Today we woke to a cloudy, dark sky. We spent part of the morning snuggling on the patio while the clouds spit rain. The temperature was perfect, and we enjoyed the fresh air. The day passed slow and we took advantage of the dreary day and snuggled in for afternoon naps. Chores were done, snacks were had, dinner was made, and excited children were welcomed home from school.
After dinner I took Hyrum to soccer practise while Daddy tucked the rest of the kiddos into bed for the night. Clouds rolled in half way through practice, rumbling and threatening rain. Without warning the sky opened up and big drops fell hard accompanied by whipping wind. Umbrella's were being turned inside out and kids were screeching with glee. I looked across the field to find the most gorgeous double rainbow. Pictures don't really do it justice. The children were freezing, but having too much fun to care. When the rain and wind let up a bit they finally got into a game, but it was filled with happy chaos.
I spent the rest of my evening folding laundry and watching Call the Midwife. I didn't finish until after ten and practically crawled up the stairs to bed. As I pulled back the covers the wind picked up and lightning flashed out my window. Shortly after I had tucked into bed there was an absolute downpour. The drops beat against the roof and hit against the window and I listened contently as I drifted off to sleep.
