Rainy Days!

Well....I can tell you one thing....when you have a house full of younguns.....for the entire day

This is NOT the forecast you are hoping for!

However.....we've got to work with what we've got!

So we just made do.....

We started out with Breakfast (cereal, fruit, milk)

and then the kids all played while I did Reading with Sophie.

Then we did made Clown Hats!

The kids were such cute clowns!

They were also very upset that Lincoln was napping during craft time.

They decided he definitely needed a hat...

So they made one for him.

He wasn't so crazy about wearing it until he caught sight of himself in the mirror!

Then he decided it wasn't so bad!

Such a cutie pie!

They were able to play outside for a little while this morning between raindrops

But

Ended up doing Wii Kids Just Dance instead to burn off some energy

I've got some good dancers on my hands!

We read about the Saggy, Baggy, Elephant today.

Such a sweet story.

We talked about how friends should treat one another.

We talked about how people should treat one another.

It was precious hearing their thoughts.

Then we wrote secret messages in invisible ink....and had fun revealing our messages.

For Lunch:

Chicken nuggets, Cheese Its, and applesauce and milk.

Then the kids decorated my kitchen windows with clowns.

I have window markers and they drew the cutest clowns.

Can't believe I didn't get any pictures!

They were Cute!

Then it was Rest Time.

So everyone hunkered down for a Movie (Curious George)

and the babies went down for a nap.

After Rest Time, they had some Free Play.

Then our special snack:

Clown Ice Cream Cones!

YUMMY!

After snack they all got on their suits.

We loaded up the van.

We ran a quick errand for Andrew to buy himself some new goggles.

I buy the first pair.  If they lose them....they go without...or they buy the second pair.

Andrew chose to buy a new pair.

Then we dropped Lincoln off at his Mama's and headed to the pool.

The kids swam.

Day 2....FUN!

After swim team practices and swim lessons we headed home.  Daddy had dinner waiting for us.  YUMMY! The kids are exhausted.

Everyone, except Andrew and maybe Sophie.....she went home for a sleepover with Hannah, has settled in for the night...I may let them all sleep in tomorrow.

They have a swim meet tomorrow night and need some rest!

I better get ready for tomorrow.

We are going to have a FULL house....Knox and Stella are joining our circus!

Good Times....Running these camps is a job....but I do love it and I love spending time with my kids and their sweet friends!
