Black and White Wednesday- Rain Day

I didn't truly realize what a distraction Jonah is to the girls until today...his first day back to school for the year. I had all day to entertain my 2 favorite ladies. And it was literally all day....no naps for these girls for some reason. We made cupcakes for Jonah....orange and green ones to be exact (Reagan picked the colors). We played, we read, we cleaned, we struggled to find other things to do.

Did I mention it poured down rain pretty much all day?

Finally, I couldn't keep these 2 chicas cooped up any longer. We broke out the raincoats and boots and headed outside.


They had a blast.


It was still raining when we went out, which provided a lovely little stream of water beside the curb.


How convenient.



Naturally, they had to check it out first.

Where it came from.


And follow it's path back down the hill.


And find out how fast it was flowing.


But then....

...they discovered their river would take leaves with it.




Which easily entertained them for the next hour.



Finally, it was time to go pick up Jonah from the bus stop.

Leaving the stream wasn't a popular decision.


Guess you can't win them all.

Thank God for our rain today....and for some bonus entertainment!


Jonah had a great day by the way.

The cupcakes were yummy.

And the kids were in bed, silent and exhausted, at 6:59pm.

the long road

    You can turn it into a science lesson. See...you didn't even know you were homeschooling, did you? :)
