Wet Holiday



This is what you do when you're on holiday and it rains the entire time. You first get wet under the eaves while still in your pyjamas and then strip off and run through the puddles.

We spent a few days with my sister in Maryborough. We were hoping to get to the beach but unfortunately it rained the entire time we were there. It was beautiful, soaking, welcome rain but it left us with little to do in the great outdoors. We did take a few walks in the rain and ride bikes through the puddles until we were covered in mud but other than that we sat around and read books and solved puzzles - lots of them.

Christmas is over for another year and I've taken the tree down already. Now the dreary drudgery of life returns. Back to work for me and daycare for Henry. Maya still has a few weeks left to sleep until midday and then get up and spend the entire day on the internet chatting to her friends. It is of course much more pleasant to chat to them online than it is to see them in person outside of the house.

Oh, look Carla, it's Henry's tight buns!!!

I had Mim and Caitlin lying in the gutters a few days ago enjoying the rain. It's been so long since kids could play in the rain.

Ha. my girls are like that too. You'd hate to actually go somewhere and talk to your friends.
