Rain!

It hardly ever rains here and that in itself is an under statement. On Saturday it was a little overcast and we all got very excited at the prospect of some rain, then a severe weather warning was issued and nothing seemed to happen! It came later that night, not for a long time but boy did it pour….. Did I mention that when it does rain it pours? Anyway, no school the next day due to the weather and guess what? It was beautiful and bright! Later that afternoon, it poured for  a little while and so we sat on the front steps of the house and watched it come down.
We tasted it! (Ma, I know it’s not the best photo of me!)
Excuse Noora’s dirty shirt, we had just finished eating a Mango!
and in the morning when it didn’t rain…….
Cafe G, for ice cream and ginger bread men (in Oman we like to dunk everything!)
Oh and Balloons! A fun time was had by all.
And mummies everywhere were very relieved when the little munchkins went back to school and nursery!
At the risk of sounding ancient…. In my day ;-), school wasn't;t closed if it rained. We still went to school but got to run around in the playground all day and get drenched………now , them were the days!

I have to add that many 10 people lost their lives and another 6 are still missing due to the flooding caused by the rains. My sincerest condolences to the families.
