Hard Times

We had another dark and dreary, rainy Saturday.  We spent the morning taking one of our Boston friends around Seattle and returned home with nothing to do.  The boys watched TV while Randy slept and I went to the temple.  I got home to find the boys exactly where I left them. . .
"I can't take it anymore!  Let's do something fun!"  I said with all the enthusiasm I could muster.  The boys groaned and didn't move.
After shooting down all my fun ideas, I came up with something that finally caught their attention:  Edible Play Dough.
It looked like cookie dough without the chocolate chips and tasted almost that good.  The boys had fun creating masterpieces and Landon had fun eating them.  It only lasted about 15 minutes but I'll take what I can get.  I'm determined to get used to this ordinary life living in non-tropical paradise if it's the last thing I do.
