Sleep
Sleep is my favorite thing to do on a rainy day. With the clouds hiding the sun, it makes for a gloomy day so it gives you a chance to rest. When I'm not at work and it rains I find my comfy pillow and big fuzzy blanket and hunker down for a nice little rain nap.

Baking
My second favorite thing to do on a cold rainy day is bake. There is something about a warm pan of brownies or a batch of cookies coming out of the oven on a rainy day that makes you feel all warm and cozy on the inside.

Movie Marathon
So when it is rainy the kids cannot go outside. After a few hours of them bouncing off the walls, it gets to be a bit much for any parent to take, so rain=movies. Its a time for families to cuddle up on the couch and pick out some great movies, pop some popcorn and have a family day.

Cleaning
I have to admit when it gets raining outside, the cleaning fairy comes to visit my house. I don't know what it is but the raindrops make me want to clean. Maybe it has to do with the rain washing the earth clean. I don't know what it is, but my house usually gets a deep cleaning.
