Rainy day fun!!

For the past week, we have been experiencing lots and lots of rain. Not the greatest weather for the end of August but what can you do? The kids have been doing quite well cooped up in the house. It is amazing the things that they find to do! Here are just a few shots of life in the deWolde house over the past week!

Kendra and Owen being silly in their toy tubs!

Kendra usually has a nap in the afternoons but every once in a while she decides she doesn't need one. So, then she gets to scrapbook with me!! I have been working on our Lithuania scrapbook and getting lots done due to the rain! One this day she spent over an hour just cutting up scraps of paper into tiny little pieces!!

Owen playing with the "new" tool set I found at a garage sale on Saturday. They have found lots of things around the house that need "fixing"!!

Owen loves to do puzzles. I pulled out some alphabet ones for him that I had stored in the cupboard. This kept him busy for quite a while. Now if we could just train him to not throw all the pieces everywhere when he is finished!!

"I love the zoo!"

Monday was holiday here in B.C. so we decided to call up some friends and head to the zoo for part of the day. We had a great time walking around and looking at all the different animals. Kendra loved the scarlet macaws that were riding one of the zookeeper's truck and the flamingos. For Owen, the best part of the day was coming out of the stroller and playing with the rocks and the playground!!

By about 1:30 it was getting too hot outside, so we headed home for a few beverages, naps and a BBQ later. Thanks, Tim and Monica, Daniel and Zachary, for a great day together!
