Today it was rainy, cold, dreary, and relentless.And then things got interesting.
People kept stopping by at our house. I was on the couch reading to Kuba when the doorbell rang. Our neighbor down the road stopped by with food for our chickens and her 2 1/2 year old son. Not more than five minutes later, Anders came home from a playdate, playdate in tow. Again, about five minutes later the doorbell rang again and three more friends and their mom stopped over. Imagine going from one child to seven in a matter of minutes.

This could have easily turned into chaos, as every kid needed to do some gross motor playing...it started with lego's and puzzles which were quickly becoming the new floor cover. I then introduced the "art project." Crayon leaf rubbings and watercolor. Simple, fun and soon we had many colorful papers lined up across the counter to dry. Four are now on our front door welcoming Autumn.
There you have it, a reversal of the mood in no time at all.
