Visions of a Rainy Day

Photobucket

It has rained almost every day this month! It's not much fun being cooped up indoors, but I'll take it over the snow that other parts of the country have been getting!

Yesterday was another rainy day, and I was sick, so I struggled to keep the kids busy. I really hope all the April showers bring May flowers and really warm, sunny weather!!!

Our rainy Tuesday:

Morning snuggles with a lucky hamster.

  1. And that was just ONE day? OMG!!!! I can't believe how many Barbies she has, by the way. :)

    I have to ask this. Does the hamster poop or pee on you guys? That's why I would be afraid to have one!

  10. Looks like a fun day indoors!

    I've come to realize that having a boy means that April showers do NOTHING for keeping him inside!

    Instead, I end up washing a million loads of "puddle stomping" outfits :)
