This May weather has been totally ridiculous. We've had several backyard projects going at once with more interruptions than I can count. (Can you see the hints for the backyard projects in these 1st two pictures??)
As soon as the rain lets up, we are outdoors fast as lightning.
We have been out back playing a lot of basketball.
SCORE!
Here's Clementine's newest "character" she brings out. He's called "Mean Guy." She growls and bares her teeth and says "Mama, I'm a mean guy!" In her world, mean guys are usually Pirates but they are sometimes wrestlers or guys who don't use manners.
Then, just like that, she's "Princess." Princess preens and flutters her eyelashes, holding her hands close to her face in unnatural positions inspired by the movie Enchanted. Princess always has with her a magic wand.
Here's Princess, the damsel in distress.
Inevitably, we are stuck inside all weekend with deluge going on outside. We scramble for things to do before the cabin fever epidemic hits.
Yesterday we made bath paints with shave cream and food coloring. Then took a 45 minute bath in the middle of the day.
The artiste at work.
Here's hoping that June might bring some sunnier days that let us play outside more often.
