My outside playtime is after nap so the day itself continues as normal although they love to watch the rain. The one difference is if it seems especially stormy we stay upstairs rather than being in the basement should the power go out because I don't want to freak them out and not want to play down there anymore. Once they are up it is only an hour till hometime. I plan a snack that takes longer to eat and then bring out a few extra toys. It has been since noon since they had freeplay so they are quite content to go back and play. My kids are trained to entertain themselves so they play wherever I put them be in main floor playroom, kitchen, basement, outside, etc.
