What do you do on a rainy day?

What in the world? I wish this picture would have turned out better. This is one of Grace's first pair of lace of shoes, and she is "learning to tie". In truth the laces are just wound around each other, over each other, under each other, and took mom more than three minutes to figure out, but she was so proud of herself. She asked me to take a picture. Why do kids bite their spoons? Every time I feed Max (which is rarely now that he is Mr. Independent) he thinks he needs to bite the spoon. I have a strong suspicion he only does it to bug me.... ugh! (notice one are Woody in the picture...)
Grace has recently discovered Scobby Doo - thanks to her cousins. I actually like Scooby so this gets a thumbs up in my book. In one of the movies Scooby and Shaggy play air guitars, and later Scooby plays a broomstick. Grace thinks its so cool so now she plays guitar and pretends to be Scobby Doo. It's actually pretty cute!

Mama's little cutters - who knew a $2 pair of scissors and scratch paper could keep munchkins entertained all afternoon? Seriously Grace must have cut for more than 2 hours the first time I let her go to town.
Grace actually does -pretty well, Max doesn't really get the whole scissor holding thing yet.


And the mess, well lets just all be thankful for a broom!

And the smile? That's one I'm very thankful for!

I loved letting my kids cut up scrap paper. They were so entertained for a long time! I think it is funny that Max likes to bite his spoon. I never had a child that did that...so maybe he is doing it because he knows it bugs you. Grace tying her shoes is priceless. She must have felt so proud!
