Rainy Days...

We hit a patch of rainy days a couple of weeks ago, so I broke into my box of emergency supplies to entertain the kids.  I had been reluctant to let them play with the Window Markers that Aunt Christy sent awhile back, but they were perfect for the rainy, dreary weekend we were having!

I moved the couch back and theoretically out of the way to avoid getting the markers on it (FAIL), and let the kids go to work.  I gave Olivia a little step stool to stand on.  The markers are more like a cross between a crayon and paint. They are crayon-esque in that the nub will eventually wear down the more you use it, but they are paint-like in that the nub is much softer than a crayon.

While Olivia scribbled away, Wyatt set to work drawing a neat picture of "daddy's boat." He even asked me to help him write the #2 on it, because daddy's boat has a big one on it.  I was impressed that he had remembered that detail!  He did a great job and then drew a picture of Daddy too.  The kids loved it!
