bus and blanket rides....

It's a rainy cold night, and I'm very happy Dave is home from his 2 day retreat.  Not only because he is mopping the floors right now, but we all just missed him!  After a busy day of school, groceries, errands, and a pit stop at home for a late nap, we picked Dave up in the POURING rain from school around supper.  Depsite rain jackets, boots, and umbrellas, we all managed to get pretty soaked running out to the van.  Of course, Janna LOVED it.  She was beaming and giggling, and squirming to get down.  I'm sure she would have lay down in a rain puddle, face up, and just laughed at the torrents. Jesse, however,  ended up crying that he didn't like the rain and it hurt him and he didn't want to be wet.   He is saying some of the funniest things lately.  At the grocery store he told me we should "buy a gluten-free for daddy."  He doesn't get that gluten free is a category, but must think it is an actual food item. Tonight before bed he told me "I am allergic to listening, mom. "

Anyhoo, after picking up Dave and getting stuck in some random traffic, we were lucky to arrive home to a break in the down-pour.  At the same time, our neighbor, dropped by to see if Jesse wanted to go play in her school bus parked right behind our unit.   Jesse LOVES city buses, but has never been on a big yellow school bus.  He always asks to go on one, and is never too impressed when I tell him he has to wait until he is older and going to school.  Well,  he had a blast!  Driving, honking, sitting in all the seats, running around it.   It made up for the physical and emotional beating the rain gave him.

Janna's highlight of the day had to be her blanket rides this morning.  She piled a bunch of blankets together and just snuggled into them all on the floor.  Jesse grabbed an end and pulled her all around the house.

He would stop every once in a while to "tuck her into bed and give her a good night kiss."

They were just so cute! Had to share.  Thanks for reading. I'm out!
