Rainy day fun

My child loves the rain. He loves to watch it from the windows or the porch but he especially loves to play in it. I know we live in the lightning capital of the world and I am careful, but he's a little boy. He likes to jump in mud puddles and yell "Splash." And honestly, I love to watch him splash in mud puddles.

Last weekend, he and I were driving Daddy's car to the carwash when it unexpectedly started raining. Bummer. I told him it's pretty silly to pay to have your car washed in the rain and we turned around.

After we were home for a few minutes I had a crazy idea. Let’s wash the car in the rain. He helped me find the bucket, sponges and some soap and we got to it.

Oh the fun! Bubbles and rain are quite a combination for a two year old. We’re talking shrieking with laughter, both him and me. We had so much fun washing Daddy’s car we washed mine too. 25 minutes of unadulterated joy while my husband shook his head at our crazy antics.
