It's raining here in Southern California! So crazy! 
I have to walk my son to school in a couple hours and praying it stops raining for my walk at a least. They are all protected in the daycare wagon, but not me! wahhhh

Yep, we need the rain but my DC kids are bummed because they know it's indoor play only unless the rain stops . What a great day to write our letters to Santa though. And they know that they get hot chocolate on rainy days so they aren't that upset

This made me laugh as rain is practically a daily occurrence here!

Mine went out and played in the rain this morning. We don't get it a lot so I thought they would have fun. Now they are playing mermaid babies on a blue blanket that is the water. Oh to be 3.

I had to laugh and say, "that's called rain!"

I'm currently bare-foot, but will put on flip-flops when I go to pick up my SA.

I am always cold..
I'm wearing tennis shoes, hoodie, and long pants..tonight when the kids go home, I am lighting the fireplace and making cookies with my dd.
I love using rain as an excuse to bake.

We've had light sprinkles all day, not much real rain. I'm getting ready to walk over to the school to pick up my SA in a few. Hope it doesn't decide to rain now.

I love rain, I could never live anywhere without it.
My family lives in Northern California and it rains a lot there. Always confuses me for a second when I hear about Southern California. Totally not the same climate!
I worry about snow when I open my daycare. It habitually gets to -28 or colder here, especially with windchill. We only have a few usable months to go outside.

I live where it rains alot sometimes. I had a little boy that would cry at the sliding door because we couldn't go outside sometimes because it was raining to hard. Then I finally realized he wasn't use to hearing he couldn't play outside-He was from Southern California.

No rain today, just a beautiful clear blue sky. We really didn't get much rain at all yesterday.
