The pitter patter

of raindrops is truly a peaceful thing. On rainy days, around here, you'll find at least one toddler/preschooler at a window, absolutely mesmerized. It's better than t.v.

The air of calm extends everywhere. Those who can sleep in a bit longer. The girls play house in their room so they can watch out their windows. Baby guy is just a tad snugglier. The big kids will settle into chairs w/ homework and books after school...without the "I wanna be outside" restlessness.

Sports practices get canceled, so the evening continues the calm. We get caught up on folding laundry, doing dishes, and talking to each other. By the end of the day, everyone is tired....and hoping for sun the next morning, so we can all go out and play in the mud.
