A Rainy Day

So yesterday I intended to do this post. However, falling asleep on the couch at 7:45 wiped that thought out of my mind so you all are getting it this morning. Anyway, Monday was a very rainy Labor Day. The kids were bored, I was bored and other than a quick trip to Target in the morning we had nothing to do. Eric was off hiking Mt. Pilchuck and then serving dinner at the Salvation Army so it was up to this momma to think of something fun to do.

The kids sat and watched quite a bit of a Looney Toons marathon during the afternoon. Sylvester the cat, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzalez, not to mention Bugs Bunny were a very good fit but by the time dinner rolled around I was tired of the tv being on and had to come up with something to do. So we pulled out the old standby Play-Doh. And boy was it a hit!

Lucy and Zane both really love playing with Play-Doh right now. It kept them occupied for over an hour which was wonderful. I have no idea what Lucy was making but Zane kept mumbling something about making Beef Stroganoff with his yellow Play-Doh. He worked very intently!

Gwen was a flutter-budget the entire time but she thought she was super big stuff when I let her sit in one of the table chairs and play with the Play-Doh toys. She didn't even seem to care that there was nothing to go with it. Just the toy and the chair were enough to thrill her.

Andrew declared himself too big for Play-Doh which didn't really surprise me. So he sat and played with his Lego's instead. Ever since we went to the fair and saw all the Lego creations that kids had entered he has been working on a masterpiece car to enter next year. I wonder how many revisions we will see before he ends up on a final version.
