The teen took the van to go to her doctor's appointment and it's raining outside. The toddler has been on my lap for about 15 minutes and she won't stop talking or stop touching everything. I was hoping the teen would be back in time to fix them lunch for me, but I guess I have to get up and be a parent! LOL... The other two have been doing fairly well playing by themselves, but they sure have managed to get toys over the entire house. I actually like them doing independent play better 'cause if I give them something to do they ask a million questions or say they're finished before my butt even hits the share again. Oh, and did I mention my printer died? No printing pages for me. Good luck with your rainy day... feel like driving down to pick up my kids. :) Yes, I am stuck inside right now with my three youngest ones and it’s raining.

Thanks for sharing. NOW if I can only get him to stop sticking the crayons up his nose, I would be all set! I’m trying to get my son interested in coloring and this is a great idea.

It's nicer than doing a search online every time I want to find printable coloring pages. Thanks for sharing! I didn’t know that they had one of these.
