Surviving Tropical Storm Claudette

Things to do with an already bored 3 year old when there's a tropical storm:

Bake play-doh cookies. This is Chef Nolan (as his super duper high quality bakers hat states) with his "oven": Tell yourself over and over, "I will get over the colors mixing together. This is okay. If need be we'll buy more, play doh is not expensive, even in this economy. Let him have fun."
Play in the rain and puddles:
Make real cookies. Or in our case, reeses peanut butter cups. Let 3 year old lick spoon. Ask yourself why you would ever let a cooped up 3 year old lick a spoon filled with sugar.
No babies were left unfed, unchanged, or unloved during these fun times. They were, however, bummed they couldn't get in on the fun and look forward to running circles around their Mommy (with help from their big brother) in a couple of years.

You are an awesome Mom! Love and hugs to all of you!
PS I glad that Nolan still likes to wear his apron. It was fun to find Abby's and hang it up on a hook in her new kitchen!
