Rain Rain GO AWAY!

I know this is the lower mainland, and it rains a lot. But this is enough. Ben and I are getting cabin fever. There are only so many trips to the store and library I can handle, and neither of them let Ben release his boundless energy. Besides, he screeches and squeals too much for the library!

He is done daycare now until we move (even then nothing is lined up for the new city) and although it is fun, the rain puts a damper on our activities. No park — unless you want to get SOAKED and cold. I have been trying to come up with rainy day activities that are Ben-Friendly. Shaving gel on a cookie sheet? Wasn't that big of a hit. Touched it, laughed and ran away. The dogs ate his crayons and we need to buy more. Paint, he just eats it. Non-toxic yes, but it makes one heck of a mess on both of us. Will attempt it again next week. Instead we make a hurricane sized mess in the front room about four times a day, stay in our pj's until 10, play chase repeatedly, snack, eat some lunch, watch a bit of a movie.. anything to keep Mum sane! At least he is taking two good naps like a champ, provided there isn't major construction going on in the basement.

Here are some pictures of our week.
