over the weekend...

First of all: IT RAINED!!! As you can see, we were all ecstatic.



It's been way too long, and the kids couldn't get enough! They were outside pretty much every second that it rained this weekend, even when the rain was falling sideways because of the wind.




It was lovely.



We also made chocolate chip cookies, with lots of snitches for Will....



....and homemade playdough. Our favorite part is kneading the color into the hot dough. :)



Playdough is one of our favorite things -- both kids will play with it for hours! I love the creative and sensory aspects (and of course I think anything that will keep the kids occupied for hours is awesome).




I think the kids' favorite part of the weekend was the zoo they made. They had all kinds of animals, each with their own unique and labeled enclosure, feeding and brushing times, a vet station in case of animal injury, and an open/closed sign on a gate. They played with this alllll weekend long. It was so cute!


I love these kids and their huge imaginations!

  2. So cute! I am glad to see you are blogging again - since somehow we don't get together very often, even though we are only an hour away!
