Rain, Rain, Rain

It rained for almost 2 days while Tori visited her great-grandparents. This was to Tori's benefit as she loves getting wet. We got there around lunch time on Saturday and it started raining not too long after lunch. Out Tori went into the rain, running around the yard having a great time. She played in the water shooting out of the gutters like a waterfall because they were overflowing. She also liked taking a bath in Grandma's sunken tub. All the playing in the rain must've worked up an appetite in Tori. She ate 3 plates of spaghetti and we know her stomach isn't that big!



Sunday came and Tori was out in the rain again. This time she made some mud pies with the fly swatter and got herself a bit dirty. Her parents were a bit smarter and got her down to her diaper for this run in the rain. She splashed and played in the puddles for awhile.



In the afternoon Tori had mostly mashed potatoes for lunch with her chicken and green beans. She love mashed potatoes. She also chased the bubbles from her bubble wand to pop them. That seems to be a favorite toy now. Luckily for us it can only be used outside. That night Tori took a very long nap with her grandma, she slept until 7 pm! They got up and everyone had a snack.



Tori also discovered puzzles this weekend. She like the ones her brother was playing with, but she also liked the board puzzles where you place the object (like animals) in the same shaped picture. She kept fighting her brother for the regular puzzle pieces, but they are a little too advanced for her.

Monday was a long trip home and she behaved rather well. She ate most of her lunch at Applebee's and had a good time at the zoo. For some reason, she really likes the fish at the zoo. Eventually she got tired and along with her brother we headed home.

Tori was ready to swing when we got home, she was tired of sitting down for most of the day. Everyone had a late dinner and it was off to bed at 10. Wednesday was most of the same for Tori. She did get to see a few fireworks around our neighborhood before bed. Next year, we'll probably take them both to the fireworks show if it isn't too late. I'm sure Tori will like it.
