Time to join Pam and share the moments we're going to miss one day...because life is so short! Sometimes it's hard to find those moments among our busy schedules, but that's what I love about participating in this...it makes me stop and think about it and appreciate them so much more!
We've had some wonderful weather lately...but the rain has been sneaking in some time, too! Almost a year ago we had serious flooding in our area and all over Indiana. Fortunately, we were not directly affected, but so many of our friends were and lost everything.
Yesterday when we got home from another semi-busy day, the skies just let loose, and the rain poured down. Emily just went right out and stood in the rain and let it fall on her head! She said, "C'mon, Mommy! It feels good!" And she was right...although, not so good for my lion's mane!
Emily and Alex had a great time playing in the quick downpour with their umbrellas and splashing in the puddles! Then, just like that...it was over!
I will miss those innocent, carefree moments that my kids have and allow me to feel young again, too! I hope I can always remember them and appreciate those rain drops so much more...even during those tragic times.
What will you miss someday? Join us at Pam's and tell us!
Cherish your moments!

Oh what a fun afternoon! Good for you mama for just going for it despite the lion's mane ;) They look so happy. Definitely a moment to remember!
ReplyDeleteLeave it to the kiddies to have us stop and enjoy the rain drops. I love the innocence.
ReplyDeleteMy boys love to play in the rain...and I remember playing in the rain as a child too! Great pictures...again! I love the one with Emily and her pink umbrella!
ReplyDeleteSuch great pics! I love rainy day outside play!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the info on how to find the elusive Carmom!
How fun! I can relate on the lion's mane! Glad you had fun with your kiddos! Time flies by so fast!!!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are great. some of my favorites of my kids are playing in the rain too. They love it and I remember doing it as a kid and I do miss playing in the rain. What fun!
ReplyDeleteThe kids just waited and waited for the rain yesterday. They were sure, and so was I, that we were going to get some of that. Too bad. They were so looking forward to it too. Maybe next time.
ReplyDeleteOh, how wonderful! I love letting the kids play in the rain. (Of course, I hope we are done with rain for a while.) You take amazing pictures, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting for my lion's mane picture, girlfriend. Don't keep me waiting!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe were in Florida many years ago at DisneyWorld and there was a huge downpour. It lasted forever.
We let the kids play in it because it kept them quiet and happy, and we knew the Florida sun would come out and dry them quickly.
At first the other parents must have thought we were nuts but then decided to let their kids have fun too. Soon there were tons of kids getting super soaked and having a great time.
And yes, the Florida sun came back out and dried them all up quite nicely!
love, love, love this moment! such cute pics too :)
