rain, rain, go away ...

what a way to start off a 4-day-holiday ... it's raining cats and dogs!

i have looked forward to an afternoon spent under the sun and enjoying a typical family day out back for a picnic, but the rain spoiled everything else we've planned. there will be no bar-b-que feast today! opting to stay indoors was difficult for a restless 6-year old but soon enough he got himself busy reading, playing with his train tracks and cars and what nots.

when the rain stopped and his dad asked him if he want to join him to buy some milk at the nearby store, he replied in a matter-of-fact way: "no, thanks. i'm not in the mood to go out anymore". boy, what a decisive lad!

before going to bed, he asked me if we can do something else tomorrow. knowing he'll never survive another day encaved in the four walls of the house, i promised him we're to go swimming (indoor) instead. and so he went to sleep with a grin on his face.

i can only hope and pray .... rain, rain, go away. come again another day!
