Our summer came to a temporary halt last week when we had 7 straight days of rainy, cloudy, gloomy and stormy weather. Tropical Storm Debby hovered over Florida just long enough to make us have to get really creative in entertaining our kids.
Rainy Day Activity #1: Sand Art.
I'm not really an artsy and crafsty kind of gal, but we needed something to do last Saturday morning. So, the kids and I headed to the craft store in search a of a "fun" and "easy" craft, appropriate for both a 2 and 4 year old. We came home with a Sand Art kit and let's just say, thank goodness Todd was home to help!
All smiles as she ripped open all the colored sand!
It just became easier to do Ross' for him and let him do his own thing with the sand!
Ta-Da! Our finished Sand Art!
Just hangin' on the couch
Rainy Day Activity #2: Bowling.
Kids Bowl Free all summer long, so we though we'd give it a try. Ross was up first. We threw the ball together and he was so proud! So proud, in fact, he ran down the lane after the ball. Oops. Neither of had a clue how slippery the other side of the lane was. We had a big crash, but after tears were wiped and tailbones were rested, we got back out there!
Who knew they had little ramps for little kids?! Perfect for our first time bowlers!
Rainy Day Activity #3: S'mores on a Stick.
Stick, Dip and Roll...they were delicious!
The sun has finally returned and just in time for a little R&R over the 4th of July holiday!
