When it Rains...

Sometimes as a home-school mom,

the time comes...

when the consequences of staying indoors for too many hours when it rains,

and rains, 

and rains...

has to be measured against

the collateral damage of sopping laundry,
possible mud relocation,
and the hot chocolate preparations that will be needed to revive the cold participants
upon reentry into the house of much learning...

or something like that.

Side note - there was only one thing that the raincoat seemed to prevent from dampening:

that smile.
