Rainy Afternoon Activities

It's been storming here most afternoons so we've had to come up with some things to do in the house. Mornings seem to fly by and we typically only do outings in the morning before nap so sometimes our afternoons drag a little while waiting for Tyler to get home.

Since Rilyn has gotten into pretend play the whole family has had the experience of being her little playmates.  This last time Ryder got to join in....good thing he had no idea and was just happy to have some new stuff to chew on.

Rilyn is very much into spinning right now and acting girly.  She LOVES to wear dresses and gets excited to put them on.  

Since both kids are now interested in helping me cook it's a little more difficult.  Ryder is no longer content just sitting in his high chair but wants to be where the action is.   No bake snacks are the perfect thing because they are pretty simple and we don't have to warm up the house.  Plus I can throw him in the sling and do most of what needs to be done with one hand and/or Rilyn's help.

Another favorite past-time is of course dancing.  We have to turn on music at least once a day and get our groove on!  Ryder was being very snuggly during this particular dance session so I had to take advantage!

And when it is nice enough to go outside we have a great shady spot next to the swing set to set up our very tiny pool and lounge with some snacks.
