Not So Sunny Arizona

Well, we figured out what will keep Clark occupied and happy for a half an hour...rain puddles! Gee, why didn't I think of that before?!? Uh, maybe because it hasn't rained since January!!!









It started raining this afternoon after Clark had gotten up from his nap. After lunch Clark begged me to go for a "wok!" so I opened the front door and showed him that it was raining.









Big Mistake!!! He got really excited, turned around, grabbed his wheelbarrow and headed for the door. At first I hesitated, and then I figured, what the heck?! Let the poor kid have some fun in his life.


(oh, of course I have WEEDS in this picture!!! I swear we got rid of all of them a couple weeks ago!)





I think "fun" was a huge understatement on my part! He LOVED IT!!! He loved digging the rocks out of the puddle and then throwing them back in to make a splash. Of course! Duh! He's a BOY! He loves puddles and rocks!








So, here's my little trooper, on his way back inside after getting soaked to the skin and having the time of his life. He was pretty sad to have to come inside, but I think he was secretly grateful to come in and get wrapped up in a nice warm fluffy towel.
