We needed to go Monday but it was snowing and ucky out,<br \/>\n    so we didn&#8217;t go. Tuesday was beautiful and sunny, but we had<br \/>\n    playdate plans, so we didn&#8217;t make it to the store. Today we<br \/>\n    REALLY needed to go and, of course, it was raining! But we made<br \/>\n    the best of it. Eve wore her &#8220;new&#8221; (new last year, fit this<br \/>\n    year) rain boots and her &#8220;new&#8221; (hand-me-down from Parrish) rain<br \/>\n    coat. Lex wore his &#8220;new&#8221; (hand-me-down from Joshua) rain boots<br \/>\n    and insisted on his winter coat. Eve cried when she realized we<br \/>\n    were driving to the grocery store, not walking in the rain, but<br \/>\n    then we splashed in every puddle we could find in the parking<br \/>\n    lot and that made her happy.<\/p>\n<p>At BJs I<br \/>\n    bought a pack of dry-erase markers, mostly because I wanted a<br \/>\n    few but also because I thought the kids might like them. Turns<br \/>\n    out it was an awesome purchase!! The kids LOVE them! I try to<br \/>\n    encourage Lex to write and draw more but he&#8217;s a bit of a<br \/>\n    perfectionist and gets frustrated quickly when he makes<br \/>\n    mistakes. With the dry-erase markers he just erased his<br \/>\n    mistakes and kept going. He drew and drew and erased and drew<br \/>\n    some more. Eve did her best to get some drawing in too. When<br \/>\n    Eve was napping he drew a really cool picture! He even put his<br \/>\n    name on it so I would know who drew it :)<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align:\n    center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4488-769589.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4488-769545.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4496-769675.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4496-769621.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">I should have gotten a video of<br \/>\n    him explaining the picture, but I didn&#8217;t, so I&#8217;ll do my best to<br \/>\n    explain it instead.
