Dancing in the Rain

So, I sat down to write my blog post about 3 hours ago. Then, I was interrupted by our second annual rainfall here in Arizona. LOL.

As tradition in my house dictates, the four kids and I raced outside to play in the strange thing called rain.

It was fun, and beautiful. My kids and I even played a few rounds of Ring-around-the-rosie, and fell into puddles of wet grass.

By the time we came into the house, shivering and soaked. The kids decided since it wasn’t quite 8pm (by a few minutes) they should get to have ice cream. After a bit of banter, I said yes and we had a blast having a picnic in the livingroom. After another hour of playing, it was bedtime and off they went, talking about how fun tonight was.

I hope they keep these memories as they grow, and share them with their kids.

Each day is a day to make memories like this. Sure, it cut into my writing time. But I’d rather spend the time with them, hearing their laughter and having a blast with my kids... while I can.

School starts in just over a week. My oldest is in high school now, my second in junior high. I can’t believe the time has gone so quickly.

But we have all the memories, LOL.

Q4U:

What memories do you love making with your family or friends?
