Rain drops keep falling on my head (5 posts before going private)









WE have had a good amount of rain this past week.
They broke out the camping tarp and made a slide.

My grass may recover but I don't care if it doesn't. Grass will grow again. But, nothing will replace the priceless moments of laughter and memories.


The kids have played in the rain EVERY day. Ever since they were young they have always been allowed to run out barefoot fully clothed and have fun. In fact, I encouraged them to find every puddle and splash in it.
OF COURSE, WHAT WOULD our lives be if our DOG was not out having fun with the rest of the family??
Here he is, KEKOA


CHECK THIS FACE OUT! It screams F U N !

They look like they are having a ball, it must be MUCH warmer where you are at, because I always loved playing in the rain but it is DANG cold right now!

Ohhhohh so much fun! I love to splash in the puddles and the trampoline had me giggling as I remember going out there with my daughter and jumping on it to splash the puddle water on top all over the both if us!

I am so sad to see your countdown to private - I really do enjoy reading your blog immensely! You show how to live a full and happy life even while struggling and I find it a boost every post I get to read.

Love it! My boys love every time it rains....which in AZ isn't very often. But we try to enjoy it when we get it.

We don't get rain like that here. I miss it. Summer thunderstorms are the best!

Your kids know how to have fun! It also helps to have a mom to encourage them to have fun too.

That is so awesome!!!!! I used to play in the rain when I was a kid. Among my fondest memories! I'm staring at the photos of your kids having a blast in the rain, and I can literally, physically feel jealousy. Sigh. It's great to be kids and enjoy life with such abandon. Cool pictures.
