This morning we had plans to go to the water park at the YMCA since it has been SO HOT this week! We woke up to dreary, cloudy weather, so I checked the forecast which stated, "Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of scattered showers this afternoon." SO, we headed out and got in the pool despite the dreary, ominous looking clouds! My friend, Karen and I were talking about how dark those clouds were and SURELY they were rain clouds, but nothing was happening--yet! All of a sudden we felt sprinkles and by the time we got to our lounge chairs (under the huge umbrellas, thankfully!) it was pouring down. And it kept pouring....and pouring harder. We finally made a dash to the locker room to get changed. It was starting to let up some, so we headed out to pull up our cars. The kids only had 30 min. of swim time, but at least we have a funny story to tell! It rained for over 2 more hours after we got home! This is how we enjoyed our rainy day before nap times:
I opened up the sleeper sofa so they could read books while listening to the rain...and I lit some candles...not sure if this is what THEY would have chosen, but it was relaxing to me!
They were surprisingly excited, so I hope I'm actually cultivating a love of reading in them!
Sean was giving a pouty face because he didn't want his picture taken...he's usually a ham, not sure why the change!
These special times together are one of the many reasons I'm happy to be homeschooling. Who knows what we will decide next year, but for now I'm happy to have extra bonding time during these little years!
