in honor of the rainbow

overheard from the bathroom

as I was walking down the hallway this morning:

"that's mom's razor" 

{whisper} "she uses it to shave her mustache"

we've had a light rain shower nearly everyday for weeks now

I love it.

I'll say it again, I love it.

The cool refreshing breeze (even if it's only during the rain) is so pleasant

The rainy season last year, was just traumatic for me.

Learning how to time when to hang the clothes on the line

and watch for the sudden rain showers

topped with the ever breaking clothes lines dropping my fresh laundry in the {mud} puddles

Let's just say, this year has been a world different.

One thing, we've all really enjoyed is looking for all the rainbows.

You wouldn't believe how many we see all the time.

Big, bright, and strong

even several double rainbows.

I don't always have my camera to capture them, but their beautiful fills me with awe.

the prettiest one was Sunday night on the way to church.

as we drove on the road, a few feet from the crashing sea shore,

we could see the end of the rainbow

splashing down into the Caribbean Sea

truly stunning

in honor of all these Rainbows,

 I decided to leave the school books on the shelf today

 we worked in our Cool Facts Journal

(this is a notebook that the princesses record true fun facts and paste pictures of things we learn)

 lift up the little flap that asks "How do Rainbows Happen?"

 {what} + {what} = {what}?????

rainbow day wasn't complete without a craft

this tiny little craft is adorable and really quick and easy.

cut your rainbow colored strips and staple the end

pinch them together one on one leaving a space in the center of the bow

cut off end and staple

the princesses decided that these little guys can even "walk"...pretty funny

we also made Rainbow cupcakes

this next picture is proof

I'm not a great seamstress

I'm not a great cook

I'm not a great housekeeper

but we do have a lot of fun!

I keep seeing all these adorable little cakes (cooked in jars) all over blogland.

Maybe next time, I'll.....add.....a....little...less.....batter.

Honestly, I was just as mesmerized as my kids 

when the cool rainbow colors started flowing over like a volcano!

Truthfully, I think it's kinda pretty.

Wanna know what we did?

We let them cool. 

 Slathered them with frosting and grabbed a bunch of spoons!

Being a mom is zoo much fun,
