Rainy days keep us busy

We had enough rain the other day that it completely flooded the street and filled a tub we had outside with 6 inches of water!  That, my friends, is a lot of rain.  Luckily, Mom is prepared for such a day and thought I’d share with you some of my latest bargain rainy day fun [...]
