It helps that we as a family have a large back yard for the kids to play in. It helps that they have a ton of toys to play with in the back yard. It helps that there is a playground and sandbox in the back yard. We give the kids this space and truly the back yard is their domain to have peace and quiet in the house. One kid will tear up your house, what do you think that three will do. Then the rain or some other weather will come and force the children inside.
You must understand, dear reader, that the kids never shut up. NEVER. There is a constant stream of consciousness manifest through song, gibberish, and declarations for some such thing or another. It never stops, The only thing I can try to give you an example of it would be first turn on every TV in the house along with every radio. Put a pair of work boots in the dryer and set that on. Now go around the house and turn on all the radios. Now once you have all this noise going find two medium sized dogs and a stray cat. Tie a steak to the cat after putting the dogs in some nice clothes and let them go in your house. Ignore that while you're doing the laundry and even then I am not sure this really gets the point across.
The rain traps this whirlwind of child noise and destruction within the house, And I have heard the "rain won't hurt the kids, why don't you let them play in the rain?"
And to which I think with everything I addressed above do I really need to add mud to that mix?
