Today was the rainiest, windiest day in recent memory.
It was so bad, in fact, that school was canceled, which means we had all three kids at home with us, just like the old days. They’re on spring break next week, so I guess their spring break officially started yesterday after we picked them up from school.
We went to the gym this morning, then to TJ Maxx and out to eat before the rain started pouring down. We darted to the car and promptly drove home to take shelter. They were saying it was supposed to be pretty bad in some areas, so we hunkered down and listened as the trees swayed and swooshed, looking like they might break at any moment. The rain was pounding the windows, begging to be let in, but I felt safe and content inside. I turned on the lamps and made some coffee as we settled in for quiet time, AKA, the kids took a nap while PJ relaxed on the couch and I read my book.
The house got so dark so quickly, but only for about 20 minutes. Then, out of nowhere, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Now it’s still windy but bright; the perfect way to start the weekend.
We’re heading out of town for the kids’ spring break and I can’t wait to share with you where we’re going!!! Hint: it’s very, very far from home and we’ve only been there once with the kids. We’re so excited!!!! xoxo
