Watching the Storm

We had a pretty decent storm roll through at about 1pm this afternoon.  I had just put Lucas down for a nap and then saw these amazing clouds rolling in from the west.  The boys didn't like me being actually outside (before the rain came) so we went upstairs to peek at the blowing trees through the window.  Then we went in the porch and watched the rain come down sideways and in sheets (check out the flood by the flowers!).  

A Fun, Boring Day

Wednesdays are my "long" days at home with the boys (Jack works til 8pm).  We had a lovely, boring, rainy day.

 Fun 3-D art projects with Sam & Tyler during Lukie's nap time 

(hidden Christmas presents finally uncovered).

 After Lukie's nap, we strapped on our winter boots and some jackets

and went puddle jumping / splashing / stomping.  

And then, after dinner and playing with our neighbor, Zachary, we went over

to Sweet Mellissa's (the local ice cream shop) for this great summer program that

from GVSU for free books and ice cream!
