Rain day fun!

The plan was to go to the store today.  The plan was to buy floaties and then go to the pool today.  The plan has been thrown out the window because it is stormy here.  So, it's time to play indoors.

We made paper plate maracas.  The girls had no idea that's what we were doing.  I gave them plates to color on and then let them put in a few handfuls of dried beans.  The beans were such a hit that we're still playing with them now.  I had some really, really old bags of dried beans...some of which are discolored and I doubt they'd taste good.  I poured these into pie plates and the girls are playing on the kitchen floor.  They have a dump truck and scoop.  They each have measuring spoons and cups. Calli has been filling the back of the dump truck very deliberately for a while: measuring spoon to cup and then cup to truck.

I like watching them studiously scoop and pour things from one container to another.
