Rainy day fun

When you have a toddler that wakes up in the 5am hour (and sometimes in the late 4am hour...I kid you not) AND you have rainy days, then it means a lot more hours of the day to fill with activities for someone who has the attention span of an ant.

Last week on a bright and sunny day, I was at Target and on a whim I picked up a pair of rainboots for Addie. They were so darn cute but I considered taking them back because we're all trying to save money these days, but thankfully...my impulse buy came in handy...Addie and I headed out to be Jemima Puddleducks yesterday during a warm afternoon misty rain.


Look mom, I'm wearing boots!

When Addie and I are out after a rain, we like to wave to our reflections in puddles. She always says "hiyeeeeee"

Stomp stomp stomp.

How muddy and dirty can I get my hands before snacktime?

This morning we played "beans". I got out a bag of dry beans and put them in a bowl. Who knew this would be such a hit?

One of Addie's favorite words is "dump" :) Next time we play beans, I'm putting out a blanket--the towel was not a big enough canvas :)

Let's just see how this would feel on my feet...yep...feels good! :)

While I do hope the sun will come out soon, I am glad that rainy days come around here and there because they force me to get creative!
