On a rainy day like today,

we all find different ways to amuse ourselves.

W1 and L1 do a surprisingly good job of keeping themselves busy and mostly out of trouble.

The only major mishap today is that they both (independently) fell halfway down the stairs. Mostly a bumpy slide on the backside with an abrupt stop at the end, but scary, nonetheless. Of course, they were both wearing only socks, and our stairs are quite perilous.

I managed to amuse myself by getting a lot of cleaning done, not raking the leaves (because, yay!, I had the perfect excuse!), eating some of the chocolate chip pumpkin cookies I baked yesterday, and taking a nap while W1 played at a friend's house (thank you!).

R1, of course, always has plenty to keep him busy at school. In fact, I'll have to ask him if he even noticed that it was raining at all...
