Day #13 - I am Thankful for Getting Out on a Rainy Day

So, it's not always easy to get out when you have two sick kids. However, it is necessary...I was about to lose my mind!!!!!! So, we bundled up, covered our heads, and went to Kindermusik. I had to get out...I couldn't stay in our house one minute longer. This makes me dread the winter and the snow/ice that will seclude us to our house, but it also makes me realize to get out while I can. There are so many days just like today that I would have chosen to stay home, watch TV, and avoid going outdoors at all costs. Now, I realize that I should do it while I can and enjoy every minute of my escapism!!!

One more thing...I'm so glad that I started taking the babies out while they were young. They're used to it. I'm used to it. Hailey squeals when we go out into the rain. Matt tries to blow back at the wind as hard as it tries to blow him. It's really cute to watch them experience the elements and I'm not so afraid of it anymore. Granted, I need more jackets with hoods, but we'll rectify that situation!
