It's a rainy day in the neighborhood

Sometimes it's fun to stay in on rainy days. By the afternoon, I think Gideon and I were driving each other crazy, but we had fun this morning.

Here is a fun project (free download) I found on this blog: http://1plus1plus1equals1.blogspot.com/

I cut the printout into strips to make into a puzzle for Gideon to put together.



He loves his monster trucks!

We also made a fort with dining room chairs and a blanket.

Car time!

We also read books, painted and made monster trucks with playdoh. Love my monkey-boy!
