Things to do on a rainy day

Saturday we were stuck indoors all day due to the weather.
With two energetic little boys in my house to entertain I was in need of some ideas and lots and lots of patients!

So here's my list of things to do on a rainy day.

Legos and blocks did the trick for a while...

Break out the flour and coco and do some baking!

We made some yummy gluten free brownies.
Ethan's already licking his lips.=)

Books are a rainy days best friend!
Reading...

Hand your camera to your 5 year old and you are sure to get some intersting photos like i did... of the dust bunnies behind my couch. yikes!

My personal fav. Take nice long naps...

And when all else fails, put on your rain coat and go jump in some puddles!

What do you do on a rainy day?

Have a great week!

Morning Light

What a differeance an hour makes! This was on my walk to class Monday morning after the time change. The morning light was so gorgeous I just had to stop and snap some pictures! It made me a little late for class but I couldn't let that light get away with out trying to capture it!

God is good and I'm so thankful that He chooses to bless us with His beautiful creation.

"Take time to smell the roses and to adore their Creator."

Baby Girl

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret place,

when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed body;

all the days ordained for me were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, oh God!

How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them,

they would outnumber the grains of sand,

when I awake, I am still with you.
Psalm 139




Baby T's sweet feet

 
I have a niece! A sweet little girl was born into our family on March 14th!.She was 7lbs 5oz, 21 inches long.


My amazing sister and her precious daughter.


Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,


the fruit of the womb a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior

are the children of one's youth.

Blessed is the man

who fills his quiver with them!

Psalm 127

Daddy and Daughter

Oh blessed sunshine!

As we got out of classes yesterday the sun was just beginning to break through the gray gloomy clouds that had been hanging around for days! I was so happy to see the sun, and even happier that it stuck around all afternoon! The kids and I spent most of the afternoon out side. Lovely!

This is our neighbor and Elijah's buddy. Look at those dimples!

Check out Ethan's fierce tiger pose. Haha!

Little Treasures

I had the joy of babysitting these two cuties this week.

Any chance I could have an asian baby? =) They are so adorable!

A few of my favorite words...

"Mommy, hold me."

Wordless Wednesday ~Hugs~

Moving Up

Ethan was moved up to an older class this semester. He moved out of the Mini's and into the Toddlers!

Here's a couple pictures from his class the other day.

Ethan in the tiger costume.

He's growing and learning so much these days. I've noticed that he's starting to put words together into short sentences. This morning I was sitting with Elijah on the couch just after the boys had woken up and Ethan came over and said "Hold me too!"

The weather has been getting warmer and they boys have really enjoyed spending more time out of doors.

Can you believe it's March 1st? I can't. It doesn't seem possible. Time just seems to be moving faster and faster these days. Is that happening to you too?

Have a great day!
