First of all let me say that I am most excited for a rainy day as I had these fears that we might never see one again! We have had 30 straight days of temperatures in the 90′s and not to much rain at all. Today though it is gloomy and raining off and on and the temperatures are actually quite nice (high 70′s)! I wanted to spend our rainy day well as it is not often that we have them so I packed up the kiddos and we headed to the used book store. We had some books to trade in and Charis is always up for a new book or two (or 11 plus 1 for mommy). There were some great books out there to be had today! I got Charis several construction books (ya know diggers, dump trucks etc.) which she absolutely loves, a bible story book that is neat-o, a Kermit leans to potty book and a few others as well. I always make a run through the sewing books usually finding nothing but books from the 80′s but today there was a little gem! I came across Crafting Vintage Style Charming Projects for Home and Garden. There are some neat little projects in there that would make great gifts so I was pretty excited about the find. Next Charis wanted to ride the “alligator” (elevator) before we left the store, which was one of the highlights of the trip for her then we journeyed home through the rain. We had a warm lunch to go with the rainy day and now all is hushed in the house as it is nap time…ahhh! Our rainy day is wonderful!
