Rainy day in November

The first rain of the Fall is here and instead of sulking about it with nothing to do, we decided to roll up our pant legs and enjoy it!

Typically, it's hard for us to enjoy the outdoors on days like today. It's pointless to go out with a towel to wipe down the swings/slides, because the forecast isn't promising dryness anyway.  There was a break in the rain, but I'm not anxious to let the kids play because it's not easy to stay dry even if it's not raining....  we almost always end up with wet bottoms, wet pant legs, and soaked shoes, socks and tootsies.

Luckily, the temp today isn't unbearable.  We only stayed out until the first comment was made about the cold.   :)  It was FUN!  And, the kids really enjoy the chance to go puddle jumping and not getting in trouble for it...  at least, my own girls do anyway.



And when the feet are cold, warm towels are retrieved from the dryer (Yes, I'm that nice!) and we put our socks and shoes back on to resume our regularly scheduled indoor play.
What a better way to spend a rainy morning than by creating things with Play Dough!
