As long as your tent doesn't leak, and you can pitch it without it getting soggy inside, please don't let the rain put you off or you'll never go camping!
Grab your wellies and your waterproof jackets and trousers, use a footprint and put poly bags over your shoes when you're pitching/striking camp so your tent stays mud-free, and get stuck in! 
Edit: I just spotted you said how old your kids are. If you're happy to deal with muddy little 'uns, I'm sure they won't mind splashing around in the rain. Just make sure you pick a site with good shower facilities and maybe a laundry and drying room! Hope you have a great time!

Agree totally with Milady, you've just got to get stuck in. We've had some great holiday's in France and Germany where we've had wet and windy weather and yes it can get you down, but as wet as you get once your tents up and everythings sorted if you drink grab a couple off beers and go sit in the shower for 10 mins get warm and and give the weather the Bird . A couple of yrs ago having had 5 rainy days in Germany then some lovely weather in Annecy we packed up in torrential rain :( and drove upto the outskirts of Paris in glorious sunshine only to have to pitch the tent again in heavy torrential rain only couple by us was a dutch family, bloke popped out and gave me the best advice I've had when pitching tent in rain do it in ya undies :)I must admit I don't think I'd have done it if there had been a lot of ppl around us but was great no sticky clothes and as I said had a couple of beers and a nice hot shower after great. Sry to have rambled.
Think you just have to admit that wherever you go you can get poor weather and you just have to crack on sometimes and try to keep smiling
