It’s been rainy here yesterday off and on and so far today (yes, I know it’s still too early to say necessarily for today, but the droppy rain on my roof lulled me back to sleep for an extra hour after my alarm went off so it seems fair to say!) It’s also been a bit too chilly to go outside and splash in puddles like Sweet Pea, Cutie Pie and I did the last time it rained. That’s when I got this adorable pic of Sweet Pea trying to walk straddling the puddles and while trying to sing his ABC’s!
I will admit I was poorly prepared mentally yesterday for a ‘rain day’ and that it could have gone much better had I planned a little better and looked at my rainy day resources a little earlier. Speaking of that, I’d love to have more activities and ideas for my rainy day arsenal, as I’m sure you probably would too! Let’s share our ideas!
I don’t like it when it rains when it’s cooler out because my kiddos get a little ornery when we can’t get out. Actually, yesterday we did try to take a field trip to the hardware store, but Sweet Pea was already cranky enough to be very disagreeable to the point of making it a very likely terrible field trip. Instead we excavated some frozen dinosaurs, played trains, ran around the house ‘like ninnies’ (my word for in any crazy style you’d like) and spent a lot of time trying to keep Sweet Pea from crying and grabbing every single toy from his brother.
I’d love to hear ways you keep your kiddos happy on rainy days. Please share!
