It was a rather gloomy and rainy day here in Wisconsin, so we stuck close to home. In the morning, we had friends stop by for a playdate. Flat Stanley got in on some action with a aircraft carrier in the hallway upstairs:
And also some pirate play downstairs:
After our friends went home, it was time for lunch. We decided to have snacks for lunch today and Flat Stanley was able to try red beet eggs that our friends had generously shared with us. Our friends also used to live in Pennsylvania, where this is a pretty common food. They are pickled and a just little bit sweet. We also had peanuts, hummus and chips, deviled eggs, ham with crackers and pretzels with mustard.
After lunch we all snuggled up under a blanket to watch a movie called Five Children and It as it continued to rain. 
We thought about taking a rain walk to stomp in puddles but decided that we didn't feel much like getting all wet. Then, later in the afternoon our family friends, Nick and Genelle, stopped by for a visit and dinner:
We're hoping to have nice weather tomorrow because we hope to take a bike ride to the library and children's museum. So far, it looks clear for tomorrow afternoon!

ReplyDeleteSo, did Flat Stanley like the pickled beets and eggs??? My mom changed up her recipe from when I was a kid and now puts cloves in them, which I think makes all the difference. It gave it that yummy spice kick.
ReplyDeleteFlat Stanley was a fan. He is a pretty adventurous eater!
ReplyDeleteSo how was Five Children and It? Did Kai approve? Such pretty knits :)
