water everywhere

the kiddos wrapped up a week of swimming lessons and then began an entire week of monsoon-like rain. I don't know if our yard will ever dry out. our yard was becoming a pond and we had friends over to play. we watched the rain and the kids asked if they could play in it in swimsuits. I initially said no and then thought...who does it hurt for you to play in rain and mud? what's a mama to do when it's been raining for days and they so badly want to be outside? so they had a blast.
