Dancing in the rain

I love rainy days! It wasn’t actually all that rainy but it was really cloudy. The Desert is always sunny so an overcast day is a welcome change. You know who else loves the rain… Ginger! That girl loves a good puddle jump and any excuse to don her ladybug rain gear. I have a window in my office at work and I caught myself just staring at the clouds several times today. They were moving fast across the sky and it was intriguing. I’m starting to feel simple so we’re moving on. Dar stayed home sick again today. But she’s way better now than yesterday, thank goodness. She didn’t throw up at all today but is still having bouts of queasiness. I had lunch with my grandma today but stopped by the house first to check on Dar. I kicked butt at work once I got back and found all kinds of stuff I need to complete my camera package. Once I got home after work,  G attacked me with requests to help her put on her rain coat, and rain boots, and umbrella, and GO JUMP IN PUDDLES!!! How could I resist that?
After a puddle jumping session with no puddles we went to Ginger’s favorite place, Reagan and Savannah’s house. I had a man-date with Ben so Ginger scored a play date with his girls… or vice versa… chicken or the egg… no one really knows. I made a quick salad, took a frozen pizza from Costco, and loaded the kids in the car. I put the salad on the passenger seat and tucked it in between the door and my backpack. When we got to the Scoville’s house I got G out of the driver’s side and went around to the passenger side to get the boy out and when I opened the door the salad bowl fell out and covered the curb with lettuce, olives, onion, cheese, and sun flower seeds. BUMMER!

We had a good time there and G had loads of fun with the girls.
