Rain Won't Stop Me!

We were outside the other day when it began to rain. We cleaned up the yard, got the laundry in and coerced the children to come in.

Awhile later I noticed how peaceful the children were and immediately thought, "Where is Jacob?"

I came to the conclusion that he was nowhere in the house because someone would be screaming, crying, hitting or calling someone stupid and I would hear that if he was inside.

Sure enough he was playing happily in the sandbox in the pouring rain. There are battles that you need to pick as a parent, but this was not one of them. He was already wet and everyone was peaceful, happy and getting along so there he stayed.


I caught his lips mid bbbrrrrr

Raindrops must taste sweet.

Hahahahah! That is really funny, especially since sand is utterly useless when it is wet.
