Mom Moment {Monday}

I snapped these pics in the backyard this weekend.  I would LOVE to be a photographer in real life, but I have many many many things to learn.  

While I was snapping these pictures I got a little bit sad.  It seems like just as fast as the camera can flash, these boys have grown up. I had a complete "mom" moment. Where in the world does time go?  I'm praying that God will help me to savor each moment, and keep these precious memories tucked away in my heart!  

Right now I'm so torn between staying at home again next year or heading back into the classroom since my big guy will be in kinder. . .praying for wisdom and guidance!  

Rainy Day Inside Learing & Play Ideas

We have been rained out for the past few days, and no outdoor time plus the combination of no recess time at school has helped me to get creative!  It's either get creative or go crazy. . .little boys who don't get to run around and play have to release their energy in some way.  Aside from our "daily dance time" where they can run around, jump, and dance wildly we've been up to some pretty fun stuff!  April is known to be rainy so if you're looking for a few activities, you might like these!

Our rainy day snacks. . .

I read books about rain and rainy days while the boys gobbled these up!

We counted raindrop m&m's. . .

We waddled like ducks and make some cute little ducklings.  The template for this pattern is from Learn Create Love.  It's an amazing site!

We made some letter "u" umbrellas and decorated them with dots.  Of course, Christian had to make a pattern.  Sol's are all over the place!  That just about sums them up!

Here are a few templates and writing pages that you can use!  It's not as rainy today, but it's very chilly and windy.  Looks like I'll have to get creative once more!

The adorable umbrella graphics are from KPM Doodles. . . love her stuff!
