Wordless Wednesday: Thankful For Rain

These Boots Are Made For Jumping

There is nothing like some fabulous new boots on a fabulously rainy day!



Rainy Day Fun At The Farmer's Market

After we picked Grace up from camp (which she is adoring) we stopped by opening day of the Wayland Summer Farmer's Market.  It was a gloriously rainy day, but that just added to the fun of being back at the farmer's market!  The girls, who have clearly never met a muddy puddle that they haven't jumped in, got right down to splashing, which brought many smiles and compliments of how great it is to see kids being kids!  It was fun to watch all the vendors and farmer's watch the girls having such fun in these fabulously large puddles.  The smiles on their face just said it all.  I am glad that we could bring a little sunshine into an otherwise grey day!

Puddle Jumping

When Mother Nature gives you a week of rain, there is only one thing to do:

After the Storms

Today when we got back from our weekly trip the library, we had to explore all the puddles and the "pond" that now resides in our backyard.

First up, puddle jumping.  

Next, a visit to the "pond" formerly known as our cutting garden.  

After all our splashing, jumping, kerplunking and wadding, we headed in to dry off, have some lunch and warm up.  

It was a great morning!

Have a wonderful rest of the day, dear ones. 

We'll see you tomorrow. 

Puddles

The morning started out snowy and grey so the girls and I decided to head to the Southborough Public Library (our new favorite place!) for the once a month Saturday Story Hour.  It seemed like a good way to spend a cold, grey morning so off we went. Even better our friends, Joe, Maggie and Cate showed up for story hour too  What fun!

Miss Jen, one of the fabulous children's librarians, lead the story hour whose theme is alphabet adventure.  The letter of the day was B and she talked about the sound it makes, and words that begin with B.  She read stories that were about the letter B and then sent the children on an alphabet safari, handing each child a lower case letter and having them find its upper case match that had been taped around the story hour area.  Fabulous!  

Now, if only I could have gotten Emma to stop exerting her two year oldness and sit down it would have been even better!  

We found some new books, and a couple of movies too, checked out and headed out the door to discover that the sky was beautifully blue and the sun was shinning! And that could mean there was only one thing to be done once we got home...

The sky may have only been blue for a little bit, but it was wonderful to be able to spend some time outside and check out the puddles.

Enjoy the rest of the day, friends. 

We'll see you tomorrow.
