It's Raining Outside and I Can't Go Out and Play

We woke up this morning after a very warm weekend to a beautiful wet world. It's one of those rainy days that make you happy to stay in the house, instead of depressed that you can't go outside. And it smells so good!

Even before reading Christina's post I wanted to spend less time worrying about the laundry today (even though it does need to be done, and it will be done, I just won't stress about it) and spend more time playing with the kids. The rain outside makes it so much easier to do this, because then instead of running around the back yard like hooligans, Alyssa and Ethan will be contained in the house and we can play hide-and-seek and Candyland and all sorts of other things.
