I have a genius child - who would've ever thunk?  Of course, I don't think he got a drop of juice, but a genius, nonetheless.
And as soon as he realized it was raining today he grabbed his rain boots in order to brave the storm.  It ended up being too cold so he didn't last long. (He's a true Arizona boy). 
 The days he doesn't have school haven't been too exciting.  I find myself trying to get things done around the house and he ends up watching more t.v. than I'd like him to.  So, I've set some goals to encourage him to be more active during the day.  It has been a bit of a struggle because the t.v. is so easy and he's accustomed to it also but it's time for a change.  We have so many fun things to do around the house it is just a matter of thinking of them and pulling the stuff out.  Right now he's playing with trains and totally enjoying himself.  It's pretty much all on me and I'm up for the challenge.  Any suggestions would be welcomed.
This is Eli's favorite activity to do outside.  He'll pull one of us over to the long boards and encourage us to pull them down and take him on a ride.  I've only fallen once with him on because I hit a rock so I'm a lot more cautious now but he loves it too much to quit.

How about that cold rain today. I'm with you Charlie, it looks great, but too cold. I love to look at it through the windows and in my car.
