The best part of rain...

I'll admit I am not one of those people that enjoy the rain.  You will never catch me say "the plants needed that"...really sprinklers do the job.  I don't garden or farm...I would love to be the kind of person that has fresh tomatos growing in her yard and picks fresh basal for some homemade pesto.  The reality is I don't enjoy that kind of work and the grocery store sells everything I need.  The cost is totally worth not having to dig, weed, plant and hope for the best. 
I used to teach 1st grade and kindergarten so rain to me means cooped up children.  As a mom it means no pool and a miserable trip to the grocery store (anyone else hate pushing a grocery cart and loading groceries in the car on a rainy day?). 
HOWEVER...the day after it rains means PUDDLES!

not just puddles, wet shoes and socks.  Oh yeah and wet little bums.

And maybe a wet mommy because someone decided to snuggle after his dip in the puddle.
This is my favorite.  I love that my phone takes nice pictures.  I would have hated missing this moment.
Basically Zack's only pair of shoes that fit are covered in mud from the last day after rain play, his almost too small shoes are soaked from today, and I think we may have left his crocks at my parents house.
