Rain, rain go away...

On a typical day, blogging happens at night. Today we are experiencing our second day of rain in a row so blogging seems like a natural choice.

The second day of solid rain causes us to change our activities. I have heard a quote which is stated something like "Boredom is the precur to creativity." I tried to look up who said it and I couldn't find it through "google." When I heard that for the first time I was struck by how true it is. When my kids have a long weekend or a vacation like Christmas or Spring Break, the first day is wonderful, the second and third days are a war, and then they get into REAL playing with forts and pretend characters. By the time they are going back to school, I don't want to see them go.

So today, we are being called to turn things upside-down. We are playing baseball with Candyland people. We are putting the fish in instead of "fishing" them out in "Let's go Fishing."

Rainy days cause us to think about typical games in a whole new way. There is no knowing what we will come up with next. I am thinking nap time then maybe breakfast for dinner.
