Okay, so the weather around here has just been plain weird lately. We'll have several days in a row of 95+ degree weather, then suddenly the next day it's in the 50's or 60's and raining. Tell me, how are we supposed to know what to wear when we get up in the morning? I solve this problem by letting the boys stay in their jammies until the weather begins to reveal itself, usually around 11:00 or so. Or if Jake's lucky, he just runs around nakey (his favorite...I tell you, that kid is going to grow up to be a nudist.)

Today, it's rainy. Here's my short list of things to do in the rain: put on rainboots and jackets and go jump in puddles (I take my camera if it clears up for a minute), strip down when you get home and drink hot chocolate, take a warm bath. Preferably in that order. If you at all have the chance, light a fire in the fireplace and cozy up with a good book under a favorite quilt. Aaahhh.
