I recently had someone ask me, "What do you do on a rainy day?" Normally, this may not seem like a 'problem' but when there are SEVEN people living in 300 square feet, it is an IMPORTANT question.
If we are in an area that has a history/science museum, then we take advantage of the indoor facilities, and spend the day there, learning and playing till our heart's content. But, if there is not one, then we have to get creative at home, and get into 'Survival Mode!'
Tanner is taking guitar lessons online, so that is not only giving him something to do on rainy days, but EVERYDAY! He loves it! He is also earning a music credit this year for his High School requirements. :) The girls ALWAYS come up with some kind of creative, art project or just a way to get the table REALLY messy...... :)
Big brother Zach is the BEST at occupying Parker. :) He will help him build Bionicles, Legos, or create a Star Wars reenactment to last for hours! YEAH! Sometimes, the girls are so impressed by what they are playing, that they will also join in on the fun.
Next thing we know, it is lunch or dinner time, and then the rainy day is gone. What is hard, is when it lasts for days and days on end! UG!
That is just plain AWFUL.
Can you say, INSANE?
Seriously.
BUT. We survive, and get through it, like any other challenge in life. :) The Lord is SO good, to stretch us in ways that grow us, and help us to persevere. It is for my good.......It is for my good......It is for good.......
Blessings,
Steph
You and the kids get VERY creative for sure. I have people ask us the same question, we do what everyone else does on a rainy day in smaller quarters, right? It must be tight at times for you and your seven from Heaven.
