Rain, Rain, Come Again

The rain has finally come again. It feels like it's been forever. It started Thursday evening and has rained off and on since then. We took our last trip of the season to Bishop's the night the rain began. There's just nothing like the smell of wet earth and the feel of the rain on your face. I'm one of those people that enjoy the weather change. I like the idea of curling up with a good book while it pours outside. The girls want to be on the go all the time. Anna even made a list this morning of the things she would like to do today. It read: 1)Turkish Restaurant for lunch 2)Target-they like looking at the Halloween goodies 3) Pool 4) State Fair. It looks like the Turkish restaurant is the winner...but for an early dinner instead of lunch. We're going to go see a matinee with Julie and Olivia first. This idea was more than acceptable to both girls. They even did a little happy dance that not only are we getting outside in the rain but we get a movie and food to boot. Before they heard about the "plan" for the day, they reminded me of the kids from Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat.

The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day.

I sat there with Sally.
We sat there, we two.
And I said, "How I wish
We had something to do!"

Too wet to go out
And too cold to play ball.
So we sat in the house
We did nothing at all.
