Stormy Weather

Yes our family has been experiencing some turbulent weather recently. Thanks to mother nature I am now not the only mother that irritates my kiddos! I get everyone ready to go outside and play and literally ten seconds go by and here comes the rain. My boys barely have time to go down the slide sometimes. We have been venturing out doors pretty early in the morning in order to have some time outside. Now don't get me wrong, I am loving the cooler temperatures and I have always loved a good thunderstorm, but keeping my little ones cooped up indoors is less fun than a sunburn! Despite all the rain, we still manage to spend a pretty decent amount of time out in the backyard. One problem is that everything is soaking wet and the other would be the new mud spots created by where the kiddos run and play! When the boys come in from playing they are pretty muddy sometimes, and when they are not wearing any clothes...well you get the picture, mud EVERYWHERE! I am lucky to keep clothes on the boys when they want to play in the front yard, forget about the backyard! As you can clearly see in the picture, they are only wearing their undies to play in the gutter. I am sure this phase will pass, Addy likes wearing clothes now and we all know how much she loved being naked. With last nights torrential downpour over, not to mention the insane lightning show that accompanied the rain, it seems we might be getting back to drier and warmer weather, so we can take the wild bunch back to the pool!
