Rain

M:  Mama, can we go out on the deck?

Me:  Well, it is raining pretty hard.

M:  We will only play in the dry spots.

Me:  That's fine. :)

And ten seconds later when I peeked out...

I knew they'd never stay in the dry spots.

And that was okay with me.

The rain is just WAY too much fun!!!!

MY FAMILY

Plays together

 Loves you no matter what you look like

(Look, Mom, we did our own facepaint)

Hangs together

(watching the kiddos splash in the water)

Is not afraid to be silly when we are together

(The itzy bitzy Papa)

 Has Daddies that are not afraid to bend down and play with their kiddos

(train tracks and play pizza kitchens)

(even when the seats are REALLY small)

Share...well...some of the time :)

(stamping our names)

Cooks together

(listening to the teacher tell us what to do next to finish our yummy treat)

Is proud to be a BIG or a LIL

Explores & Learns with each other

(using the buttons to make the dino roar and move)

Problem solves

(M is trying to figure out the scavenger hunt ?s)

Makes silly faces

Sometimes gets a little scared

(not so sure of the giant dinos)

Sticks around to play even when he isn't too sure about these weird girl cousins of his

(Yo! Girls! We are supposed to be fishing not playing with those weird dolls!)

Enjoys getting together whenever possible

AND

I know that we have a good thing!
