A little over a week ago it rained very hard almost all day long. The month before we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather where we spent long days at the park, beach, and on bike rides. When I woke up to the nasty weather outside I was a little concerned. What would we do all day long? The kids weren't worried one bit. Charlie kept saying all day, this is the best day ever!
They read books on the couch....

Giggled together while exploring their tunnel.
When they got tired of that game they flattened the box and turned it into a steep hill for their cars:
We spent a long time building a castle with our blocks and Magna tiles
Both kids really focused and worked together to make it just right...
They watched the pouring rain together, chatting the whole time.
They played Mommy-Daddy for a while. Oh, and I crack up at what they like to do with their "babies". They usually either take them to the fair for cotton candy, or set them all up on the couch to watch scary movies. Basically, they act out things that Adam and I don't let them do. I love it.
Charlie took art to a whole new level. Notice the mess in the background. They emptied the big cardboard box and played with the trash all day long. I had to secretly throw out a piece every once in a while until days later it was finally call cleaned up.
Finally around 3 after 8 hours of indoor play the rained stopped. We got all dressed up for some serious puddle jumping.....isn't my gnomie adorable? And notice she is wearing jeans...over her tights. It was that cold.

There have been plenty of days where the kids seem to fight and bicker all day long. But somehow this day was perfect. Thank you Kate and Charlie for leading the way in a great day.
