What Are you Going to Do on A Rainy Day?

Now, don't sit around and cry. It's supposed to rain again tomorrow here in Minnesota.
So, what are you going to do on another rainy day?
Here's a list of suggestions for having fun,
even when the weather is bleak!

1. Take a nap. That's number one on my list!
2. Why stay inside? Take a walk in the rain. Can you count the raindrops?
3. Clean out a closet. It's amazing the things you can find when you empty a closet out.
4. Make paper airplanes. Have a contest with whomever is home. See who can fly their airplane the farthest distance.
5. Make popcorn and watch a movie on TV.
6. Turn off anything that makes a noise in your home and listen to the raindrops.
7. Read a book to your children.
8. Better yet, make a field trip to the library with the kids. Spend an afternoon getting acquainted with all the library offers.
9. Turn off the TV and play a game with your children. Give yourselves a chance to make special memories on a rainy day.
10. Pull out old photos or videos from when you were a kid. Share them with your children.
