Our Rainy Day Schedule

As all of you who live in Southern California know, we had a TON of rain yesterday! More than I can remember in a long time. It pretty much rained the entire day! I loved it! But what to do with a 2 1/2 year old indoors all day? I don't know how people do it in places like Seattle or back East... do they have indoor playgrounds and more indoor activities to do? I'm thinking yes. Anyways, here is a recap of our day.

The flooded backyard


We made black and white cookies


... And drank hot chocolate


We took a nap... ahh, it was nice!


We watched Polar Express and had popcorn


Played in Derek & Daddy's fort


Walked to get the mail with Grandma when the rain died down


Fixed the ornaments on the tree while waiting for dad to get home (Genny, he LOVES his tool back pack!)


And then dad comes home and this is what happens... Starts off as an innocent walk through the mud




And ends up with a boot stuck in the mud (on the left next to his hand) and a foot buried in the mud


He came right in for a nice warm bath! What a fun rain day schedule, as we used to call it in elementary school.

I am so glad he likes his tool backpack!! The mud pics are great. Such a boy thing, but Hannah would probably have loved the mud too!
