Usually we don't brave the crowds at Lowes for their craft time. However, we have had more than a week of rain (yes, a week, in Florida), and we need the activity. Since we will have a playdate today, we will be joined by a friend and it should be very entertaining. Since little hammers are involved, I will be taking my Tylenol before attempting it. The kits are cute enough, and the children love to hammer. We usually end up having to rehammer them at home, which is a-okay with the kiddos!
Our other activities have been pretty common, cleaning, neat websites, reading (well reading wasn't that mundane), puddle stomping in rain coats and shopping. One movie we watched was Bedtime Stories. They thoroughly enjoyed it. There may have been some adult themes, but it was handled in a thoughtful, albeit brief manner. Both of the older kids (8 and 5) loved it and the parents found it a fun movie as well. The youngest at almost 3 wasn't as thrilled except when they were showing the Guinea pig with the big eyes. Nostalgic ... especially with the music, 80's rock, I believe.
Well, it is starting to drizzle again. Not common for Florida, by the way, all this rain, but it is GREAT for the plants. Off to the hardware store!
