Rain, rain, go away. Let the hide-a-beds come out for play.

And on the eleventh day of rain, parents everywhere, in final acts of desperation, opened their couches and let their kids jump on and burrow under the hide-a-beds in their couches.

Seriously. Zac had opened ours up on Saturday, and when we went to Grayson's for a playdate on Sunday morning, they too opened theirs up.

Alice and Grayson enjoyed jumping and playing on the pull-out bed. Simon stayed focused on the trains.

Back at our house, the living room was hopelessly messy, but the kids had a great time playing hide-and-seek  in the tunnels under and around the pull-out bed.
