A cold, cold, wet day...

Well today was a great day to stay at home, and good thing we didn't have anywhere to go! It was pretty cool and rained just about the whole day. So, we did some fun things at home!

We began just after breakfast with fingerpainting!

Elizabeth's first experience with paints...

She did really well and only tried to eat it a couple times...i don't think it tasted very good!
Madilynn loved painting...she enjoyed mixing a lot of colors!

the creations...

Meanwhile, something was baking in the oven...zuccini bread! The girls love it, and we sure enjoyed it with our lunch!

After nap it was snack time...

being silly

yes, she's still in her pajamas...she did get dressed shortly after this picture was taken and before Daddy got home!

And, in case you were wondering...

this is what happens everyday when Daddy gets home from work...

he's attacked, with lots of hugs of course!!

For supper we tried a new recipe for chicken & rice involving a ranch dip packet and a stick of butter...it was so good, (sorry no pic) with steamed broccoli from the garden.
To top off the day Elizabeth received a birthday package from Granny & Pepaw in the mail! We were able to video chat with Granny, so she could watch while Elizabeth opened it!

wow!

she loved all the animals and they make sounds too - so cool!!

Elizabeth kept saying "Hi" and waving at the camera like she really wanted to talk! She has also started repeating us (sometimes) when we say "bye-bye" and it's too cute.

Another thing to note about today...

All day long I've had the Dr. Seuss book The Cat in the Hat going through my head. It starts out with something like they stayed inside on that cold, cold, wet day... I didn't say anything about it though, and we didn't read the book today, but while we were at the table for supper Madilynn said something about this cold, cold, wet day like she was thinking of the book too. I thought that was pretty cute!
