What We Did Today

Possibly my favorite kind of day (if we're stuck inside):

no agenda, only a few odds 'n ends to accomplish at no particular time, good food, jammies, lots of play time.

Played with our Melissa & Doug food... A LOT!

I'm going to remember this as a great gift for some other upcoming birthdays.

It is definitely a hit.
Others people have described this to me before, but it's hard to understand until you see it.
What a super cute concept, with cutting board and wooden knife!
Played with the Mylar balloon - floating up, pulling down, repeat.

While daddy vacuumed the dining room, Sophie got some fun practice with furniture walking. She has really good balance and coordination. I don't know why she doesn't want to stand or walk. But I'll hold tight to this baby phase awhile longer.

After I assembled the marinade for our fajitas for dinner, Will got to taste the already-squeezed lime. He loved the sour taste.

Once Sophie woke up from nap, Will climbed in bed with her and the two of them jumped/bounced like it was the greatest entertainment ever.

I love these.

This is what it looked like all day today. Thunder storming off and on.

I think that makes "indoor days" more exciting.

We were hoping to squeeze in a bike trailer ride between the rainfall,

but that was a no go.

Practiced counting on Sophie's new wooden bead toy.

Played with the train table in the basement.

Crawled around on the floor.

Read lots of books.

Sophie was very clingy to me today, and whiny when I wasn't near.

Here she is with daddy watching me cook dinner and trying to figure out how to get in the kitchen.

I finally gave in and let her in the kitchen with something to keep her busy.

Watching the chicken bake for tomorrow's dinner too.

I (of course) appreciate the sunshine,

but I definitely don't mind being holed up with my family on days like this.
