Rainy Day Fun!

We had a big storm come through Tuesday morning. Mara was asleep the whole time but Alaric and I were baking cookies. The power went off and the candles, flashlights, storm radio, and anything else Alaric thought we needed came out.

After an hour of the power being out with no sign of it coming back on, we woke up Amara and headed to Champaign to get to Grammy and Papa's since they did have power.

Alaric insisted he and Mara where their raincoats- they really are cute. This was also Amara's first time playing with a pull toy!

Mara is her "Grandpa's Little Princess" Shirt and pigtails- too cute!

One of Brian's favorite things to do after a tough day at work when I need him to "man" the kids is to play horizontal dad. He simply lays on the floor and lets the kids attack him. Sometimes he tries to watch TV or just lays there for a few minutes but today, the "claw" attacked! Alaric jumped on his back and Daddy was out for kisses!
