Rainy Day. We Still Play!

It seems that rain has been on the daily forecast for weeks now. But after Cayle woke up from his morning nap it was nice out so I decided we better get outside and have some fun while we can. We got the water table set up outside, got the dogs tied up, got all the toys, and yadda ya. We were five minutes into playing and what happens?? Rain! So, we sat on the porch and watched it rain for a bit and then went inside for lunch. After lunch the sun was back out so back outside we went!
Cayle loves splashing and playing in his water table. But today I decided to spice it up and add bubbles!! He doesn't quite know all the cool things to do with bubbles yet. So, I had to show him how to pile them in your hands and clap and sling the bubbles everywhere! He liked that. I have recently been trying to show him how to blow bubbles in the bath water and at the pool. So, he tried blowing bubbles in the bubble water. It was so funny to watch because every time his little head would pop back up he would have a forehead full of bubbles. We also splashed around in his kiddie pool and played in the water hose with Diesel. He loves loves loves watching Diesel play and jump at the water from the hose. He just laughs and laughs. Even though the rain has come and gone several times today, we still had a great day playing outside.

Mommy note: the bubbles were a hit in the water. I also tried putting shaving cream in the water so he could play with that too. However, I didn't realize but my shaving cream is the gel kind so that didn't work out as planned. I will definitely have to buy the foam shaving cream so he can play with that in the tub or outside in the water table. That could be a fun thing to do with Papa. Him and Papa could put the shaving cream on their faces and pretend to shave!


Bubbles!

Hahaha He cracks me up

One of his many attempts at blowing bubbles:
