The weather kept us indoors again today. To try to find the "good" in it, I asked the boys why we should be thankful for rainy days like this. Some of their responses were:
"Good for the garden"
"For people can drink water"
"So animals can take a bath"
"For animals to drink water"
"So fish can breathe"
"It fills up our rivers and the water gets high"
"For fish can swim in it"
Today's highlight:
Colton learned how to tie his shoes!
I am so thankful for the time that I spent to make scrapbooks. Now that the kids are older, they look at these at least once a week. Laugh a lot. And also ask a lot of questions...where were they, how old, what landmark in our yard, etc... Makes me remember that these little bodies aren't going to have anything but pictures because of short term memory at this age. I mean, c'mon, do you remember when you were 2, 3, or 4??
It was a loooooong day after that. They knew they were going to be going to a swimming birthday party around dinner time. So, the whole day, I heard, "Is it time to go yet?" When it was time though, they had A BLAST. These boys are like fish in the water, it's hard to get them out.
After swimming, we drove to our friends house for pizza, cake, and ROPE SWINGING!!! I was sure that they wouldn't do it, they are both VERY cautious boys and anything that looks dangerous, they probably won't do. To my surprise, they did. Proud Mom Moment #76. :)
And with that....our day was at an end. Until tomorrow.
