RAIN! So what will we do?

Filed Under: fun, playing, projects, unschooling

“Momma, what kinds of stuff can we do on rainy days?” Ryan asked. These kinds of things!

We built and painted cars.

You can ask your mom to draw a picture of your favorite action figure so you can color it.

We can go to the Natural Science Center and visit these guys:

dead leaf mantis

walking stick

two headed turtle

Then of course, when in doubt…on rainy days you can always do this:

We needed the rain pretty badly but things got a little scary here when we were under a tornado warning for a while. All is well now and we had an action-packed day!

Camping…well, sort of »

    I just wanted to add in regard to my drawing that I can copy someone else’s work until the cows come home and it will look pretty good. What I haven’t been good at is creating something of my own. I WISH I could do that but it always looks so sophomoric when I attempt it.

    When we went to Pinehurst 2 years ago, we met up with a fierce storm w/ tornado warnings happening…it was pretty intense! When your weather goes bad, it doesn’t mess around!

    Love the painted car!

    This will say ‘soapchix’, but it’s really me, ‘childsplay’. I have no idea what’s going on with my sign in name…but I can’t change it! ??? !

    LOL You have secret identities all over the place! Something must be going on with blogger because the emails notifying me about comments suddenly look very different. Who knows?

    You’re right though, the weather here can get out of control!

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
