A rainy gloomy day

I love raindrops, they are beautiful and I love watching them splash. However, I do not like misty, foggy, wet, windy, gloomy days. And that was exactly what today was! We had a small amount of time outdoors in the morning before we became too chilled, and we all enjoyed that time! The chickens have now officially moved outdoors, the coop isn't quite finished on the exterior but the interior looks great! They are so happy with their new space and very curious.
Yeah, it looks kind of scrappy and ahem.. trashy, but it will come together very soon.
I am impressed with my husband's progress, as are our girls!



Today we all worked together on a new painting to hang in our activity area. It turned out really beautiful!
Working on it, though Lo is under the table here he did participate :)

Finished product, I really like what they did with the "sun",
It was really just their excitement of having paint on their hand and feeling compelled to smear it everywhere.



And, today we received some new Todd Parr books in the mail! Is it possible to have a celebrity crush on a man just because I like his children's books so much- I love Todd Parr!




Much block play and redecorating with blocks was happening today. We were in need of new block decor since we were indoors more than we would have liked to be (i.e., I let it fly that the littles pulled out everything and had a sea of blocks all day). Sometimes I am a bit of a perfectionist in keeping things the way they are "supposed to be"… but when it comes to the littles I try to remind myself that they don't need, nor do they appreciate, perfection. So blocks everywhere it was!
