I'm Bored

I'm bored is something I heard more than once yesterday.  Sunny CA was not sunny, and it will not be sunny for the week.  We haven't needed an ark yet, but we are on alert.  I think if I start seeing animals in pairs I am running for higher ground.

When I was a kid, I loved the rain.  I remember playing in it.  Chasing rainbows, and splashing in puddles.  But this was heavy duty rain.  The kind where you do stay inside and watch it come down.  And down.

That is rain...not snow.  The blue blobs on the left are the "rock wall" on the play structure.  It was dark and gloomy all day.  Ryan wanted to go outside.  I told him no.  He promised he would come back in.  I tried so hard not to laugh.  I almost let him, just to see how fast he would come a running!

So what do you do when you are bored and cooped up all day...oh and remember it is a holiday so there is no school..and apparently no mail....hey...why not play the play the mail game.  How do you play?  Well....

First grab some pen and paper.  Then start writing letters...to each other.

Letters can be whatever you want.  Ryan drew pictures...all were of maps...to people's houses.  After you are done with your letters, or maps you call for the "mailman."

The letters are collected and put in the appropriate person's mail box.  Then you all take turns reading your letters.  It's a fun and silly game.  And it kept us busy.   Today it is back to reality.  School.  Rain or shine.
