Rainy fall days

We like to spend them oustide.  Calvin is the proud owner of a great second run rain coat and pair of (luckily) matching boots which he begs to put on every time the ground even appears to be wet, so when we actually saw rain falling this morning we headed out to catch some rain drops and puddles before music class. Unfortunately the fall weather in Michigan is as fickle as a contestant on elimidate and by the time we stepped off the porch the rain had stopped and we were forced to make do with meager puddles and damp grass.  Oh the utter disappointments of childhood–if only we could embrace them as adults we would never lament a rainy day in all our lives.
