I don't know about you, but when I was little we spent just about every waking minute outside. We climbed trees, made bombs, build forts, dug tunnels in the garden, played in the junk yard, and well just about anything else that we weren't really supposed to do...even the rain didn't stop us from playing outside, we'd just get on the trampoline or play in the mud. About the only time that we would stay inside was when there was a thunderstorm. On those days we built forts out of blankets, played lava monster, made houses out of playing cards, played board games or card games...there was never a dull moment in our house, but with 5 kids running around I'm sure my mom was happy that we usually got along well enough to keep each other busy.
There was a thunderstorm today and it wasn't that bad but sitting with the girls made me think about all the things we did as kids. We'd find the most random things to keep ourselves busy and today my nieces did too....with a house full of toys they sat down and played with some paper cups
Blake even sat and watched the rain for about 10 minutes...that's the longest that she has ever sat still and not been asleep
