i am seriously wondering this afternoon how we made it through winter with all the rain?
i loved it, i remember. i don't remember really having cabin fever ... too bad.
but this afternoon i think our house is too small and our kids are too loud : )
i'm wishing i could just send them outside. the good thing ( i guess ) is they aren't asking to go out - they've played for hours with blocks.
right now i think they have almost gone through a ream of paper coloring & drawing.
elephants.
apples.
swing sets.
wharfs.
ben's scribbled pencil lines all over the page is rain, he said.
jack has turned his apple picture into a telescope.
sailor's race car didn't turn out so she turned it into thunder & lightening with little stick people all lined up at the bottom.
yesterday's weather was truly magnificent. i have tried making a point to not complain about the weather - everybody does it seems. its too hot or too cold or too windy or too much rain or not enough rain ....
i do think it'd be nice if they could go out - but i'm not complaining, just commenting maybe ; )
they did go out yesterday, or they were in & out. muddy floors, changes of clothes. but the hail was too much of a draw.
benny thought the thunder was loud.
the rain has inspired me to bake something - pretty much for the sole purpose of the house smelling good & warm : )
so there is pumpkin bread waiting to go in the oven ... i'm waiting a bit longer so it will be nice and 'smelly' when rex gets home.
the boys have moved on from coloring to carrying each other from one couch to the other - if i had a dime for every time i've said 'inside voice' today, or just a nickel ....
... i'd go shopping : )
really in spite of their volume i'm proud of their contentment.
and remarkably molly & regan are sleeping through it.

my mother's confession of the day -
i sat all 5 of them down in from of sesame street this morning & took a hot shower.
regan by far is the youngest to have experienced elmo : )

speaking of cozy & homey ... we got 4 real letters in the mail the other day. no bills or junk, just cheerful happy mail.

the telescope is now a paper airplane - that doesn't really fly all that well. but it sure can do a good dive bomb.
this post was written in real time ... can you tell : )
happy april showers.
