Rain, rain go away

Seems like we have had cloudy, dreary, rainy weather all spring. If it is not raining it recently rained, just enough to make everything too wet for the kids to play outside (swings, sandbox, slide etc.) Mother nature the end of June is sneaking up on us and I have hardly had to pull out the sunblock. Hopefully we start to get some nice weather and soon, but not too hot ok!

So what do you do with your kids on rainy days/nights?  Typically on weekend nights we get home from work/daycare, have supper, play outside/go to the park, then come in baths and bed.

Last night we were outside for a bit and weeded part of the garden, until it started to mist and make everything wet again. Tonight we did not even venture out it was just too wet.  So what did we do:
1) Pulled out the frozen bananas and made banana bread and muffins.  This became bedtime snack. Nothing better then fresh banana bread for a bedtime snack.
2) Played with stickers, play dough and stamps.

Here are a few pictures.  We have been using stickers to teach Madelyn body parts.  She know most of the basic body parts (eye, ears, mouth, nose, chin, cheeks, hair, teeth, arms, fingers, belly button, toes, legs). Something about stickers that makes it more fun!

Tummy stickers!

Pleased with herself, this is probably before eating play dough.
