Rainy Day Blues




"Well it's cloudy in the morning gonna be raining in the afternoon.
If you don't like this rainy weather you better pack your bags and move...
Rain keeps a falling, falling round my window pane..."
- Willie Nelson




Day #11 and counting...rain, drizzle, rain, storms, drizzle, etc. Each morning the skies are overcast and gloomy, enough to keep us inside witnessing not a single raindrop. Or there seems to be plenty of breaks in the clouds. We pack a picnic, get comfortable on the blanket, pull out the food and get soaked by the mysterious dark cloud that came from nowhere. This has been our story day after day.


We continue to venture outside as much as possible but with a family of 4 that has been battling cold symptoms for weeks now, we decided to stay inside. While the boys were napping, we sacrificed one of our few remaining brownie mixes and pulled out party decorations. When they awoke, we had a surprise birthday for their 'friends' (Dog & Bear). Big and Little could not keep the smiles off their face. Each received a small gift (Matchbox Finnish police cars) and ate brownies and ice cream. A way we passed yet another rainy day.
