Raining again ......inside Olympics

Still it comes....more and more rain.....



the kids wistfully watched it come down and down and down....



somewhat intrigued by the intensity of it this morning....





tracing raindrops down the window... always good value....




Rain is a good excuse for a bit of 'school'....While Kurt wrote about the People of the desert.. (native American block) .....
 Becca set out the animals to replicate a scene a storu in her from her animal legends block.....




While I got lunch, the kids decided to set up a 'show jumping' arena in the lounge, and very happily replicated this Olympic event, using what ever they could find for jumps ,including a dolls cot, shoe box ,blue divert (water jump) and upside down coffee table...






complete with 'heats' ,semi finals, and finals...... judges table with official timekeepers.....
(Oh and I was informed that I was to stay in the press photographers box only !!!)..



...and the medal ceremony.... with medals, flowers (leaves) flag raising and national anthem......



I did have other plans for our afternoon, but their plan was so much more exciting than mine !!!
