We had another rainy day here in the ‘Burgh, so we decided to get outside and have some fun. We pulled on our rain boots and rain jackets and hung out outside for a bit!

I’ve been working on teaching Sadie the colors of the rainbow, so we collected leaves for a little project.

She was so excited to show Jimmy her craft when he got home from work! The second he walked in the door, she took his hand and dragged him to the fridge and signed leaf. So sweet!

Onto some of my recent favorites in lists of threes because I love a good list!

Pet Products We’ve Been Using On Repeat

3. Cat Toothbrush Toy. That’s right… a cat toothbrush, haha.
