Monsoon Season

I honestly can't remember a Summer in my past where there has been so much rain. I am sure there have been some, but I always recall hearing about droughts and how much we need rain in the summer,  not people complaining about the lack of pool worthy days we've had this time around.

I know plenty of people will probably want to smack me for this, but I also don't think it's even been that hot this summer. Global warming is totally a disappointment if you ask me. ;) I love hot weather, and gotta get my fix while I can...since I shiver for the other 9 months of the year.

On the positive note, it's made us to be more creative with our summer activities. Yesterday, it was literally a downpour off and on all day. Pouring. So finally, after hours in the house and the kids trying to watch yet another episode of Caillou, I had them put on their swimsuits and go outside to jump in puddles.

They had a great time, after they got over the shock of being told to jump in a puddle. It's always good to keep them on their toes, less chance of them getting bored and setting something on fire. ;)
