Rainy Day Schedule

It's raining today and I love it. It started last night and should last throughout the day. I can't be on my regular rainy day schedule because workers are here and I don't have a stove or oven working yet.
I love rainy day schedules. Always have. I can remember walking home in the rain, I was about 6 years old. I walked in the gutters and got drenched from head to toe. I came home and we had an elderly babysitter who live next door who was there to receive my wet self. She dried me off and made me the best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had.
Then in elementary school when it rained they would say we were on the "rainy day schedule". I loved it. We got to stay in, eat our lunches at our desks and play games. My favorite memories of school.
I have wonderful memories of playing with my kids in the rain. Walking in the gutters, making boats and sending them down the street in streams, and driving my car through puddles to make big splashes. One time I made Brandon very upset because I sprayed a church.
Now my rainy day schedule would include making soup and baking. My kids know that on a rainy day we always have soup.
I will see what I can pull together in the mist of chaos. Hopefully you are enjoying the rain, by a fire, having a nice bowl of soup.
