Wet and rainy

It's a wet day today. Our gardening co-op is cancelled because it's simply too wet to be out in the garden. Phoebe would like to go outside to play. 

"Please can we go out and play in the rain?" she begs. "We won't get struck by lightning! We promise!"

We've only just come in from walking the neighbour's dog. 

It was drizzly and we came home wet—but the way the rain is coming down now offers us a real opportunity to get soaked. Why would we want to miss that?

I signed the kids up for a storm spotting course this afternoon (in place of their gardening time). 

Alexander shared it with the TV upstairs so the kids are tucked in watching how to spot storms while—as Phoebe has noticed—there's a perfectly good storm to experience outside right now.

She's currently putting on all her rain gear...so we'll probably be heading out into the rain in a few minutes.
