Raining Christmas Project

Today, it has been pouring rain all day long!  Most people in Yuma welcome rain since we NEVER get it, but I hate it, especially with two small kids.  When I went to get them from preschool today, it was still pouring, so I had to make a plan to get them to the car and keep them as dry as possible.  I decided to run with Rylie to the car first, however I needed to hurry to get her coat on and make it out before Liam saw me.  Well the plan failed because it took a little while to find Rylie's coat and Liam saw me only taking Rylie.  Poor guy had a meltdown, thinking mama was leaving him at preschool and only taking Rylie home.  Luckily his teacher held him until I could run back in and grab him.  He practically dove into my arms!  I kept telling him I wasn't leaving him, but until he was in my arms, he wasn't so sure.

I decided since it had rained all day and the kids hadn't got to play outside, that I wanted to do a fun project with them.  I decided we were going to make a gingerbread house.  Rylie was excited and Liam could care less, except for the candy.  So Rylie and I spent a couple hours making our gingerbread house, and I think Rylie ate just as much frosting and candy as went on the house!  It was a fun project and Rylie says, "Our gingerbread house is so cool mom!"
