Half Day.... What else to do.. Play in the rain!

Today was one of those days when your schedule is interrupted and you have to be that mom who allows life to just happen and not freak out about it.  The kids school day was only a half day today.  HOME BY 11am!!!

 Homework is done early and lunch is made and eaten by 12.  Then we have no TV during the week rule, so now what?  Okay, so walk the Dog around the block a few dozen times...  HAHA  Yes the dog is no more exhausted than the kids.  Coloring,  um no that is too quite and inside.  So lets play outside.  It begins to sprinkle.  Then it begins to pour. 

You look out the window into the back yard, and every beach umbrella you have is up and the patio furniture is no being used as a fort, and the water guns are out and full.  Lets play in the rain.  I waited and minute and thought, "maybe I should bring them in", Nope!!  They were laughing uncontrollably and having the best time.  Then only one hiding from the rain was the Dog, hahahaha!! 

Let kids be kids.  Let kids get dirty and play in the rain once in a while.  Moms, we all need a half day to watch the kids be creative and just love life.
