Rain Rain Go Away

Josh has a 5 day weekend starting today and the rain keeps falling just enough to leave mud everywhere to cover kiddos in a mess that only little boys can achieve. There is a rain run off with a little mud spot behind our house and Tate loves to play in it just like the piggy in his book, "mommy I'm wallowing in the mud". I love a good occasional rain but the wet everywhere that lingers and leaves irresistible puddles is not my favorite, especially when we want to be outside playing! We will still manage to keep busy though. I decided living far away is easy as long as there are no holidays, long weekends, or birthdays. But life is good and it keeps flying on. 

 Tate colored this by himself! He even attempted to write his name on the bottom. Whenever I ask him what he wants to do that sounds fun he asks to do Mommy Tate school. It is so fun that he is excited to learn.

 Tate and I were in the kitchen working on something and when we went to check on Ian we found him under his crib. He had a binky in his mouth and one in his hand. He now knows whenever he wants a binky to head to his crib and it has yet to fail him. He is so funny!

 Ian found his friend at the museum. He gave it a kiss and growled. He knows his animals already.

 With Daddy home today we went on a field trip to the pet store to learn about pets and then to the dollar store to get out of the house and stay clear of the rain. The boys loved picking out their spoils. Ian stood by a bucket of balls and threw them over his shoulder one be one grinning like he was in heaven. The best one must have been in the bottom of the bucket. When I asked Tate his favorite part of the day he said it was picking out his colorful cars. I'm in love with these adorable kiddos.
