I was originally going to entitle this "rainy day fun," but I think the better name is who needs toys. Yesterday was a pretty rainy day, and I didn't want to run errands and put Beth in and out of the carseat, so we stayed home. We did go outside for a little while (thank goodness for rainpants!), but we spent most of the time indoors. We did a lot of the typical rainy day things - cut and paste (well, I cut, and Nora smears paste and then presses thing together), coloring, reading stories...but Nora also had a great time doing all sorts of other things as well.
She took one of my shopping bags and used it like a potato sack to walk around the house. She decorated a skein of yarn with crochet hooks (after disassembling another skein of yarn around the room), and she decided to go through our cupboard and see what she could find! Our house may have been quite a mess by the time bedtime rolled around, but Nora managed to wear herself out and slept great!
