Today it rained, but it was a really good day. I'd post photos, but Brandon took the camera to work. I actually enjoy days like this b/c I don't have to worry about running errands with kids who hate running errands. We usually turn on music and dance around and read books and pop popcorn to watch a movie. Chrisotpher helped me make cookie dough for some Christmas cookies later and then helped stamp our Christmas card envelopes. (This will explain if you get yours and it looks like a 2 year old got a hold of it.) After we mailed those, Sophie woke up and he decided he needed a bath. After a snack and reading of some books, we are sitting on the couch watching the rain in the front yard and here are some of the funny things Christopher said,

"Mommy the rain is making a puddle for me to jump in later!" (guess that's what we're doing when the rain stops)

Then the thunder starts and he says, "We better run to our beds and take a nap before the thunder wakes us up."

"Whoa!!! The thunder is booming!!"

"Hey, it's raining out here too." (said after Christopher walks to see the backyard)

When turning on some music, I asked if he wanted country or Christmas music, his reply was, "Crunchy!!"

We had success going potty and later took a trip to the BX with Brandon. We decorated our Christmas cookies and even got a surprise visit from our neighbors Matt and William, which is always fun. Overall, it was just the day that we've been needing around here. Hopefully we'll have more of them now that everyone is feeling better!
