Could you check this for me?
It was a week after my third birthday. My aunt gave me a new doll as a present, and while I was playing with it, I noticed that my other dolls were all quite dirty in comparison. I decided to give them a bath. When I washed them all, I took them outside and put them on the grass. It was a warm day and the sun was shining. While I was waiting for the dolls to dry, I heard a shout from inside, so I looked in through the window. Water was pouring down from the kitchen ceiling onto the floor. I didn't turn the taps off in the bathroom. I remember that my dad was really angry because he had decorated the kitchen the previous week.
The ground was wet when I was leaving the house in the morning. It had rained during the night.
Please check especially these in red.
Thanks in advance!

It is always (?) possible; past perfect is a stylistic tool-- it makes good writing.
