Rainy Day

What do you do on Rainy days?  It is suppose to be SPRING here, but since we live in the high mountain desert, SPRING is a word that is used for the week we feel warmth and sunshine between the snow and the summer heat.  It was a rainy day in our neck of the woods (okay it may have snowed, but let's pretend it didn't!) and we were feeling glum because it's just no fun to have bad weather when you have only enjoyed a few days of the glorious weather, a.k.a SPRING.  So the kids were asking what we could do and we decided to get out a bunch of board games.  We played games and read books and just vegged out for the day.  I love lazy days like that, sometimes they are much needed for the mental sanity as well!  Here are a few pictures I captured while in the mix of playing the alphabet fishing game.  Oh by the way we LOVE Discovery Toys, and a lot of our games come from them.  They grow with your child, a lot are multilingual and they are educational which is a win win for  Mom and any family!  I took these pictures in order of their occurrence and it kind of shows little story of what our three youngest monkeys are like....every.....day.....LOL!

 Here, everyone's having  a great time playing fishing for alphabet letters

 Oh yay! Look what you got Buckwheat!

 Oh dear, someone made someone UPSET

 Yep, he's Mad!

 And now he's giving Jo a little piece of his mind

 OPPP, you better put that fishing pole down YOUNG MAN!

 Lil' sis thinking she can straighten out the situation

 If you've ever had a Peanut lashing, you know she's serious and you're in TROUBLE!

And here is order restored, and Peanut being told to calm her self....HAHAHA!

I showed them this little "still video" (which reminds me I should do a little unit on still animation) and they got a kick out of it! Buckwheat said "Nice movie mom!"  Oh the joys of being a Mother!  I Love it, literally!
