A Rainy Day

With a lot of rain around here lately, I've been tasked with being inventive at entertaining a two year old around here when we can't get out to the splashpads or parks.  Here is a peek into a day at home while it rained of and on all day.

Checking out the back porch and watching the rain in the morning:

Good shoes for a wet day

Lily set up a picnic

Checking out the front porch and seeing if it's still raining

Making banana bread

Mashing up the bananas

Licking the spatula

Of course when we are finished, we get to clean the dishes!

Afternoon Snack Time!

Lily peeled her own mandarin orange, separated the pieces and shared them with me.

We got out shaving cream and played on the counter

Finally in the late afternoon, the rain subsided and we were able to get out for a bit.  A quick change into these for our time outside:

Those little red, white and blue boots are the same ones we bought and used in our adoption announcement pictures. So glad they fit because when we bought them, we had no idea who would be wearing them.  They are a perfect fit!  :)

Of course, we had to play in some puddles!

After walking Gracie and Roxi Lily helped to put things away

Next up, was some Barney watching.  Today's favorite:  Bingo!

We ended our afternoon with a quick run to CVS to pick up a few things.

Love my sidekick while running errands!
