April showers bring May flowers!

Well today was a rainy kind of day but I kept thinking about the old saying "April showers bring May flowers." Despite the rain we where able to sneak in an evening walk. This boy of mine doesn't miss a beat! He asks about everything! I have been talking about plants lately with him and he even noticed flowers coming up that I didn't notice and would say "what kind of flower is that?" He also saw some worms and said "mama where the worms going?" Oh and too there was a kitten sitting inside a window sill and he said "why the kitty sitting there and not playing in the kitty's house?" I love it though, because it gets us talking about things in greater detail.

This morning did we ever have the sound of music in this house! The kids played with a piano (in Rose E's words a "niano") and a xylophone. Rose E was cute, she would dance and play at the same time. She has really been into those dance moves lately! She also said this morning "doggy drink, all done" and "clock." I got a kick out of her during lunch too, I gave her a small bowl to play with and she took all off her crackers off of her tray and put them into the bowl then she took them out of the bowl one by one to eat.

This afternoon Jeff and I drug the kids to a few antique stores, though we didn't really find anything it was still fun. We also stopped at a new coffee shop in downtown Calumet which was neat because a couple from our church have restored it, it originally was an old car station and they have really fixed it up with lots of charm. Walter was thrilled to have an "nm and nm cookie" and hot chocolate to sweeten up his day!
