Taxes and Puddles

Today was tax day at the Wynne household.  We had hoped to knock them out during Rhys' nap, but a few tax complexities combined with a short nap meant we still had more work to do even after Rhys woke up.

We knew our only shot to keep going was to bring out the big gun of distraction...the iPad...

Elliott likes the iPad too as it means that Rhys isn't torturing him for a minute.

Powerful as it may be, even the iPad is limited in its ability to hold Rhys' attention.  So, before too long we had to head outside to burn off some energy.  Luckily, it was raining.  Yes, I did say luckily.  Because, rain = puddles!

After some good play time, we came home for a bath, some pizza and an early bedtime (because Brian and I were quite tired).

P.S. Are we the only people who still do our taxes completely manually?  Probably.  We do like to make things harder than they need to be sometimes...
