rain check

The kids are really into "checking the weather" right now. For Ella, I think it might be an excuse to get on my computer. She'll ask several times a day, "Mom, can I check the weather?" Then she'll click my bookmark (weather.com) and see if there are storm clouds or a bright sun and what the high temperature will be. As soon as she does this, Simon asks if he can check the weather. Then he opens the front door and stands on the front porch. I guess he's more of a "hands on" kind of guy.
