Dancing in the Rain

I love having the flexibility to just stop what we are doing and change directions depending on a rain shower, or a spontaneous trip to the library or a great many number of other reasons.  One such occasion happened today.

Here is a photo of Sis dancing in the rain and also of the footprints that they made.  So simple and so sweet and reminds me of this quote:

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass,

It's about dancing in the rain."

Saturday Sketches---Continent blobs??

I have been slowly introducing the Equator and continent 'blobs' with Bud.  Since we are focusing on US geography at CC this year, Bud has been learning the shapes of the States.  He has the capitols memorized pretty solid.....and he dreams of going to Massachusetts, Idaho and Hawaii.  Here is a random sketch that my DH took of him this morning.  He loves maps...so we were delighted to see this freehand sketch of North America.  What do you think of his US outline??
