Well,
this is kind of fun! A little piece of home that I can watch online!
The grey skies and rain are back in Cardiff. We had several days of lovely sunshine. It looks it's going to be a weekend full of rain. I took all the girls on the school run this morning. As soon as we got in the car it started raining pretty hard- good thing I had already decided I was going to drive! And it's also a good thing that we are prepared most of the time with umbrellas in the car and the rain shield for the stroller. Unfortunately for me, I can't hold an umbrella and push the stroller and hold an almost 3 year olds' hand...so I got SOAKED this morning. I was never more thankful for my new Lands End waterproof coat that I had ordered a while back- and even more thankful I didn't have a baby bump that kept it from being zipped up!
After we dropped Cerys off at school we went to do the grocery shopping. I had Addison's car seat and Bailey in the trolley, so by the time I made it to the check outs they were covered in food, ha! We got home and unloaded and it was then time to get Cerys from school. So it's been a busy, wet day! Once we got home and everyone fed, Cerys had room time and Bailey, Addison and myself took a LONG nap. I love it when that works out! Makes for a happier afternoon for all!
We do A LOT of playing indoors as you could probably imagine and it does drive me crazy at times. We do all the usual things- but I was just wondering if anyone had any fun, different ideas that you do on rainy days that you could share with me? My girls are pretty creative when it comes to playing together and have very active imaginations and I'm very thankful for that! Because of lack of space/storage we do not have a ton of toys, so they have to get creative! I was overwhelmed when walking through Target - so much STUFF! And like any parent, I would love to give them more, but I know that I would rather them be content with what they do have and learn to make up games, etc.
So, I would love for you to share some things that you do with your kids- but remember we can't go out and buy a lot of things, so keep it simple please! Thanks!
