when it rains...

then there is definitely one of the girls outside and loving it with all her heart. this time it was an umbrella, though most often its boots and her "plastic"-coat with hood only. she can walk out there for hours with quickly stopping by to tell, that she discovered this worm or that piece of hazel nut from around the house...

then there is lots of indoor drawing and painting going on too. discovering the tracing on her own is interesting and even more with the big sister helping her a bit. and finding all kinds of lines to come up with new creations. last saturday was one of those days. a whole day of rain and no scheduled activities going on, what better than letting the kids go about their ideas create and letting them explore what's in them and how wonderful it is to discover on their own with lots of time and a pace that makes them feel comfortable. since we are in switzerland and the kids in public school, those not at all scheduled days are very rare. i have to come up with planning some more of them.
