Rainy Days

Two straight days of solid rain! Meaning no backyard adventures, no swimming pool or even wagon rides. Skyler and I decided to make our own indoor fun while the thunderstorms outdoors persisted. After breakfast, we started with cleaning the house. Yes, this is actually fun for us! Don't I just have the greatest helper? Even after changing out of her pajamas, Skyler continued to help.

After sweeping the floors, Skyler enjoyed her Baby Einstein DVD. I get tickled watching her interact with the characters, especially the puppets. Check out this picture were she's clapping during the introduction! Her attention span is amazingly long as we can play this video over and over and over. lol....Thanks to Cousin Nikki for such a wonderful and entertaining gift!

Books are a huge favorite for our sweetie and Tom's cousins, Bob & Sandy Larson from Connecticut, bought Skyler the Baby Einstein Look, Listen, and Discover Play-a-Song book. It's perfect reading after watching the DVD, since the same characters are present. The book has 10 illustrated pages of lyrics and an attached digital music player that includes 20 famous classical themes. She absolutely adores it and the book has become a constant companion, especially during travel time.

Daddy has been getting rained out on the golf course, but that's not stopped our ball of energy from practicing her game. Every since we purchased these clubs in Tennessee, Skyler has exhausted herself by hitting & running after that little white ball. It does make for a perfect rainy day game that involves exercise. She'll be ready for golf lessons with Daddy in no time!

Getting ready to tee up!

Skyler's way of "testing" the ball.

The practice begins!

Oops, a hazard shot!

Measuring out a one club length penalty stroke.

And now the drop, or in Sky's case, the throw!

That's all folks! Time for apple juice at the 19th hole.
