Rain, Rain Go Away.....

So we are getting pretty sick of the rain over here.  I am starting to get extreme jealousy as I view friends' blogs from Vegas, Hawaii, and Southern Cali. and see their sunshine, beautiful weather and their fun trips to the beach or the park.  Do you think you guys could please send some of that over here??? The poor kids (Jack and the little boy I watch, Kellen) beg me to take them outside everyday, but its pooring rain and still pretty cold!  Yesterday, Jackson kept bring his shoes to me saying with the cutest voice, "mamma, shoes, shoes!"-which to him, putting on his shoes means we are going outside.  The poor kid is getting bored to death of our little apartment.  We are so excited to move to a house.....just 3 1/2 more months!  But since we are still here in our little apartment for now, I decided to make the best of things and find some fun things to do within our apartment complex. So we put on our rain coats and boots, jumped in the puddles in the courtyard, threw each piece of recycling away one at a time while giving each other high fives each time, got the mail, and rode the elevator up to the 4th floor and back down and up again and back down and up and back down and up again and back down and.....(you get the picture-somethings never get boring to a 1 yr. old).  Then daddy came home and since it is finals week and he had just taken a test, he needed a break before studying for the next test. So together all three of us watched part of the Bee Movie, which so far is pretty cute, and Jack sure liked it.  So it actually turned out to be a fun day after all........I still hope the rain stops soon though and the sun comes out of hiding!!! :)  Here's some pictures from the day:
