I am TERMINALLY BORED these days! It seems like we have done every craft, activity, outing and fun thing a billion times and the joy has been sucked out of them!
So, even though it was raining, I took the girls on a Nature Walk. I let them pick up dirty disgusting things like pine cones, sticks, rocks, flowers, weeds, wet leaves, etcetera and jump in all the puddles.
In fact, I encouraged this behaviour! Poor girls, it took them a bit to get into it. Serenity kept asking me to wash/wipe her hands.
Rayna wasn't so sure about the puddles.
But they soon got VERY into it. Rayna even managed to get her shirt wet. She jumped in puddles so hard the water splashed up under her coat!
Skyler was content to hang in her stroller because she still has a bit of a cold.
Skyler giggled like crazy whenever the girls jumped into the puddles and they were great at running back to entertain her.
Serenity's favourite treasure was a bluebell. I love that you can see the yellow on her nose from where she sniffed one too many dandilions.
Rayna couldn't decide between the bluebell and her pinecones.
What are some activities you do with your kids? I could REALLY use some new things to do.

Oh dear...you got me on the activities!!! We usually do learning games and play outside as much as possible...We also go to the playground quite a bit...just to let them run off all that energy!!!
Splish Splash! Those are some pretty adorable mugs!

What a great idea!!! They look like they had a blast!!!!! You know what I am thinking!!! This would make a great mini-album!!!!
Love the pics...sooo cute.
I would suggest baking, but...I recall some mishaps in that dept LOL
cute pics!!!
I see some fun layouts coming on! What fabulous pictures of your girls. Sounds like you got out and really enjoyed some of life's simple pleasures :)
One time I remember when my kids were small I was soooo out of things to do.
One of our neighbors sold bunnies.
So I went and "rented" one for the day.
It was perfect.
My kids played all day and then we took it back.
The next day we made storybooks about the bunny.
Have you done library story hour?
Found other kids to do a playdate?
Made little surprises and taken them to then neighbors?
Oh, Mayday is coming up.
You could make little bouquets and with ribbon hangers.
OR
What about hiring a neighbor kid and having them come over the play with the kids for an hour after school for a few days so you can take a nap?
these are going to be fi=un to scrapbook, the colors are wonderful and what a couple of cute subjects!!
I find it funny that one of the other ladies had the same idea I did...baking, maybe not so good an idea for Carrie. LOL
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head so I will put my thinking cap on and get back to you. :)
I love all the images especially the action photo with the water splashing up! Beth
