These Downpours Tho

I love a good storm. Right as we were leaving my parents this evening, it started to come down HARD! It momentarily petered out just in time to get the kids out to the van, so we ran them out and drove home. Once we were parked in the garage, there was another good downpour. We got everyone in and to bed, and I headed to our room to crank all of the windows open. I love listening to the sound of rain. Now not that I can’t know what the future holds, but it is definitely not raining anymore, and I don’t know if it will :/ Not tonight anyway. I know we’re forecasted for a ton of rain in the next few days! Like flooding levels of rain. But yikes, how I LOVE falling asleep to the sound of rain! Bah!

Today wasn’t particularly eventful. We had a really early start with Solly, and he was pretty unsettled for most of the day. Through the morning, we did dishes, a load of laundry, dishes, etc. I went upstairs after a while to continue the forever humungous project of sorting through products and trying to make our en suite vanity/makeup desk area what I want it to be. It didn’t take long before the whole family joined me in our en suite. Good thing its such a good size! I sorted and planned and didn’t really accomplish much beyond noting a few things I need to buy from Dollarama to make it a tad more functional. Who gets anything done in a small room filled with children? Eventually, Brady hauled them all down and bathed them. I brushed their hair and got them dressed.

We spent the afternoon and early evening with my parents. It was a pretty quiet day, which was nice. Lots of visiting while the kids played, lots of yummy food, nice stretches of naps, etc. The kids didn’t ask for tv once, which was a first! They love the routine involving a bit of tv after lunch, so they were obviously enjoying being at grandma and grandpas house.

Now, everyone is home and asleep. The bath is run, and I’m thinking its time for a snack. Perhaps nachos. Its always a good day for nachos.
