Appreciating Today

It seems to never stop raining around these parts!  And we are going crazy!  There is only so much you can do inside.  We stocked up on some art supplies at Target the other day and we have officially had our first color (she only ate the crayons once!), first play dough sculpture (she didn’t try to eat this once!), and today we will paint (with water of course!).   This morning we saw a sliver of sunshine so we jumped on it.  Kaelyn and I headed to the park and even remembered our bread for the ducks!  We will not bring bread to the ducks anymore.  Holy moly are they some brave ducks.  I swear they would have eaten my leg if I didn’t chuck the whole two pieces of bread I brought at them and ran the other direction.  From now on we will watch the other duck feeders from afar and enjoy as we have in the past.  Even the squirrels are crazy there.  Kaelyn almost brought one home as a pet… they too almost attacked my leg.  I could not believe how close they would

Kaelyn and I are sitting here… just the two of us… quite lonely.  We had such a glorious weekend hanging with Nonnie and we also had Daddy home for four days!  Nonnie arrived, carrying gifts as far as the eye can see, which is her usual way.  She likes to spoil!!  Check out the new shades she scored for my little diva… Saturday was pool day.  Kaelyn did her usual climbing out of the pool game but Mommy wised up and brought some toys to distract which helped.  She also loved swimming with Dada!  We of course went shopping and ended the day at Chilis where Kaelyn had her first ever kids meal.  What a big girl!  Is it wrong to be proud of your girl eating greasy restaurant food? We may let the house go just a little when Nonnie is here!! ... although Daddy does look hard at work trying to tidy up!! Nonnie found this hat which is great... it has elastic so we don't have to worry about the darn strap... Kaelyn wore it al
