Rain, Rain. Please Stay.

It doesn’t rain very often where we live. All week there have been beeping warnings flashing across the bottom of the TV (causing Curtis to go nuts because he “can’t hear” his show) screen with the threats of not only rain but floods. 5 days of this and you begin to think someone is crying wolf a little too much.

Well then it happened. It poured. It sounded like hail. I yanked Curtis away from a puzzle and made him go outside and play in the rain. He wasn’t too impressed. We came back in and then the thunder started and it awoke Alessia from her slumber. So I took her outside in the rain too. By then it was just sprinkling and so Curtis decided it was okay to be out in the rain.

We grabbed a popsicle stick and a straw and had fun racing then down the gutters. Oh the joys that can be had when it rains. I then took him to the sewer so Curtis could see where rain goes. He was highly impressed and wanted his stick and straw to go take a trip to Lake Mead (where the water flows) too but then I reminded him that he likes to swim in lakes that aren’t polluted with garbage.

Oh I do love a good rain. It is now so very cool outside. We took a two hour walk in the heat this morning if I only knew it would be 20 degrees cooler in the afternoon I would have waited.

Here are the few pictures I got of my cute kids in the rain….

Curtis (smiling his best smile) and his boat he made at Home Depot. We tried to get his boat to float down the little stream but there wasn’t enough water. Thus we resorted to sticks and straws.

Alessia cheering on the straw and sticks. She tried to get the current to take her away. Good thing she is so sturdy we wouldn’t have wanted her to end up in sewer.

Alessia sunbathing afterwards. I just love her little curls. They get to be even cuter in a little humidity.
