What's the family's favorite rainy-day activity?

rain-drops.jpgOn Friday, our yellowing sod got a dose of rain.

Then came Sunday's bullets of rain drops and the difficult decision on whether to stay indoors or wade through the wet mass to see Star Trek.

Going boldly where other moviegoers have gone to the tune of $147.6 million we braved the rain.

It looks like we're in for a week of rain, according to Ken Kaye of the Storm Center, and I'm trying to gather a list of rainy-day activities we could engage the wee one in.

My favorite things to do when the rain in pelting the house is to curl up with a good book or burrow under the covers for a nap.

But my toddler is wise to the Nap Game (who can keep their eyes closed the longest) and so I'm in the market for some other things to do.

What do you suggest?

I love when it rains on Friday.

We play games or read to our son (7)- with all the rain, we made it through "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in May. But playing games has some educational value, too. With cards or dice he learns numbers and adding on the spot. And by now he has learned to lose without crying.
