Happy When Skies Are Gray

They make me happy when skies are gray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last Week

What have we been up to? Not much I guess. We had yucky weather last week and just kind of hung around. Mike was working out of town and we tend to get lonely. We spent the night at my parents and with my brothers, which is always fun. Yesterday it finally warmed up and we played with the hose and buckets out front, but it was too pretty to even think about getting the camera. The play structure has the kids every bit as entertained as I'd hoped. I LOVE watching them play right out my kitchen window.

We tried to come up with new rainy day activities...here we finger paint.

Another afternoon was spent building train tracks. I remember when I had the help them, now they do on their own.

We went to the children's museum with my mother in law and niece Charli

 

...And that's about it. Oh, and I read The Hunger Games. In one day. I didn't know much about it but I usually don't get into things with that much hype around them. I wasn't a Twilight or Harry Potter fan. But I LOVED it. I couldn't put it down and now I'm anxious to see the movie. Even though I haven't been to see an adult movie since before the kids were born. Truly.

Jumping In Muddy Puddles

The kids have colds and it's been rainy out. We've been mostly cozy inside the past few days. As I've mentioned before, Maxwell and Ella love the Nick Jr. show Peppa Pig. In this show, darling British piggies adore 'jumping in muddy puddles.' First thing yesterday morning the kids wanted to run out in the eye of the storm with rain boots on. I made them wait until the afternoon calm. Should I have let them out and get wet and chilly when they have colds? Maybe not. Today Ella's coughing. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Rainy Day and Bowling

Over the weekend we spent a rainy day in the hot tub then off bowling with my family. Remember how the kids were just playing naked in the sunshine? I can't keep up with this weather.
