Up And At Em!

This last Sunday morning started a little earlier than usual here at the Hurley house. Our Little Man woke up around 5:15 because he kept coughing, a dry cough that wouldn't go away. Since he was up and unable to fall back asleep, we were all up and getting ready for our day before the sun came up.

Sunday was also a VERY wet morning. We had thunderstorms and quite a bit of rain before noon (we are definitely not complaining). Since we had an early breakfast and showers we were able to just enjoy some time together. We haven't had a day like that in a very long time, we either have something to do, somewhere to go, or Hubby is gone working cattle or helping out somebody else.

Since Parker hadn't got to experiment with the Do-A-Dot markers he got for Easter, I decided to pull them out and let him have a little fun. HE LOVES THEM!

I went straight to my Pinterest boards to find some of the sheets I had pinned to do with the Do-A-Dots.

(These farm animal sheets can be found here.)

We also pulled out the trusty, ole Play-Doh. The knife in the photo below is PLASTIC, don't worry!! :) It seems like we are always getting gifts of Play-Doh. This is completely okay with me, sometimes lids don't get shut all the way and we end up with hard rocks of Play-Doh the next time we get it out to play. 

(Our art tray came from Hobby Lobby I believe - a dollar store cookie sheet would also contain the mess)

(Parker uses these, plastic cookie cutters, I got many moons ago for Christmas)

(We store all of our Play-Doh and accessories in this photo box that my grandmother gave me about 4 years ago)

I hope everybody else enjoyed their weekend!

Blessings,
Dakota
