Rainy Days

Well it's been raining here for a week or so I think. Probably flooding around town, but I'm not sure because I don't have to get out and drive in it! Yay! So much better than last year though when we were in a horrible drought. Anyway, we've been mostly inside, playing games and reading books. We played outside a bit, made boats and rode bikes.




 My sister has a ton of limes from her lime tree and so we took a few.


 I've been in the kitchen quite a bit, making recipes with limes, but my food doesn't take good pictures :-) Here is my lunch for the past few days though.


Here is Taven making a boat to float down the street. He put a roach in as his passenger.




 And look! A real roach crawled out of the gutter lol! We caught it and floated it down the river too!



 Rainy day puzzle activity is always fun. Excuse my wall. Remember the wallpaper I posted about a while back (see here)? We couldn't take it anymore :-)


 Bingo.


 Anybody have tips for playing games with a 2 year old around? I've tried distracting Taven with something else but he always seems to have his mind set on destroying the game. Here he is putting the Bingo markers in his mouth.


 And spitting them out into a bowl.


Ah well (seems to be my new thing to say).

  2. All I can think of is what would work with my 2 yr old:
    Stick him in an empty bath with washable crayons.
    Kitchen floor with tub of water & cornflour & spoons.
    Anything messy basically that can be contained or easily cleaned up... & that the girls aren't interested enough in to be distracted from their game!

    Rain here too, endlessly... glad you're enjoying it though!

  3. Love that a real cockroach was inspired to take a boat ride! I've no suggestions about how to game with a two year old, but it seems he's found some fine ways to join you all on his own, eh? :)

    1. that roach was too funny :-) she was eager to get in the boat but once we put her on the speedy river she must have got scared and she made her great escape.
