I am sitting here with the rain pouring down outside and even at 9.00a.m. it is still a little dark. I can't believe the kids are all still asleep. I can hear a footstep or two but no little faces have popped their heads around the corner yet. We should be off to church, but there is so much water outside, I think we would have to swim to the car! So I guess we are playing hooky this morning.

They will all appear soon, as they will wake up to the lovely smell of home made french toast casserole in the oven. On Sundays I try to prepare a little ahead of time, because getting ten kids out the door to church all dressed and presentable is no small effort.
