Rain is a cause for celebration down here in the desert. It is a refreshing scent, look, and feel to the day and one that I totally look forword to. On this day it had been raining buckets, just buckets of water. It was coming off the roof in water falls and making giant puddles. I had the kids put on there coats and boots and they hussled out the door excited to make a mess. They were stomping in puddles up to their ankles and getting soaked to the bone. There were a couple times where Jude had to dump out his boots because they were so full of water. Lips started turning blue but still the kids wanted to jump and play more. We had to rain on their rain parade and drag them in for a hot shower, but we promised them that they can play in the rain soon.
