The Cat in the Hat

Bad weather and colds can make days at home seem so boring. We had great ideas, including Mt. Vernon or the park, etc. But when we saw the weather this morning, we felt almost like the little boy and girl staring out the window at the rain and wondering what to do. Luckily, it was my day off too (President's Day), and I am their favorite toy. Randomness ruled our day, including putting on costumes--I was, appropriately, the Cat in the Hat. We also wrestled, spelled, read, watched a little show, and even danced in a mambo line. We rounded out the day by Skyping with my wife's parents. We didn't step a foot outside, but we hardly noticed we were stuck inside. As a side note, my wife says that I should be the stay-at-home parent; however, I assured her that if I stayed home everyday, I wouldn't have the energy to do all of these things every day either. We know all too well what can happen to even the best of plans. But when plans are thrown out the window, like they were today, we sometimes have even more fun just goofing off together.
