Rain Rain YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have had a dry, warm, and beautiful winter here, but really, we need the rain! I woke up about 4am to a sound I haven't heard in ages. Sure enough, it was teeming out. Here is the view from my playroom window this morning:

Today is election day here so the schools are closed and everyone is off. I was going to take them to the zoo, but a nice day at home sipping hot coco and looking at the stormy weather seems like an even better plan :)
