And the pendulum swings

After I dropped Adam off at work today, I had a little down time and I didn't really want to go home... but it was POURING down rain. WHat to do... what to do... so I looked up my summer fun list to see if there was anything we could cross off the list. The world's largest ceiling clock at the downtown library!! So we went! And it was actually quite fun! They have a great library downtown with a little play house and fun toys. The kids were very fascinated by the huge clock and the pendulum which swings back and forth. Good call!

Rain rain can't wait to for you to come again another day!

Kentucky weather is seriously soooooo strange! Just this morning we've had rain, sunshine, and almost blizzard-like snow which lasted less than 20 minutes. As soon as Joselyn saw the rain, she begged and begged to get her raincoat on and go outside with her new umbrella.It was really cold outside, so we stayed really close to the house and hung out in the garage. It didn't take long for the wind to pick up as well as the rain, but we enjoyed the 15 minutes outside anyway, and I got to take some cute pictures of the kids in their rain gear!

I am in LOVE with this picture of Landen. I think I will frame it. Look at that sweet smile on his face!

And yes, I am so in love with Joselyn's umbrella and rain coat. The umbrella is sold out now, but it was such a great deal! SO CUTE! I bought all the rain gear at Old Navy.

I'm really looking forward to walks in the rain this spring and splashing in rain puddles!

Splashing in the rain puddles

Over the summer I dreamt of playing in puddles with the kids... all decked out in rain boots. And so I kept my eyes out for some nice used ones for the kids and bought me a pair. They have occasionally been brought out as an object of play, but they have mostly sat in the closet unused... until today. The kids were begging to go outside but it was still a little wet from the rain... then I remembered the boots. We each put our boots on and jumped in puddles! It was very fulfilling and the kids had so much fun!

Don't you love how one of Landen's boots is under his jeans and the other leg is all scrunched up?

Oh and can I just say how excited how I am that Adam is home the rest of the week! It's been SOOOO nice. Not just because he is really good at helping around the house, but it's just fun spending time with him! I know the kids agree... today he took Joselyn out on a daddy daughter date suring Landen's nap time. She was so excited to go out with him and came back with a huge satisfied grin on her face.

Speaking of my awesome husband... I'm gonna take a much needed break RIGHT NOW and go and spend some time with him! Movie night and pizza here I come!
