Look at My Rain Boots!

When Grace woke up to gray skies, she immediately pulled out her rainboots from her closet and asked me if it was wet outside. The girl has been dying to get some rain so she can slip into her boots.

We ran errands all morning, and although the sky threatened rain, not a single drop fell during our outing.

In the afternoon, she had a follow up appointment with her pediatrician and it rained on the way there. Of course, she didn't have her boots on, but I promised her that she could put it on the second we got back home.

By the time we got home though, the rain had fizzled out and turned into a misty mess. Still, true to my promise, I put her in her rain gear anyway and we walked down to the mailbox. Grace was as proud as could be about her rainy day outfit and announced to the neighbors we passed on the way to "Look at my rain boots!"

The rain really started coming down later in the evening when it was time for me to go out to dinner with a few friends. The downpour didn't stop us from having a fabulous time.

And it didn't stop Daddy and his girl from enjoying their evening together either. They watched a movie, created play dough masterpieces, and played pretend.

Even with the dreary weather, it was a wonderful start for the week!
