The week before last we had a blizzard which left us with 20+ inches of snow which is more than I have seen in the 5 years we have lived here. The girls daycare ended up being closed for two days so I ended up taking two days off work. With both girls home I knew it was very unlikely I would be able to get much work done. Kenny had to come into work the night the storm started and couldn't make ti home until two days later.
We knew the storm was coming so I had stocked up on food and tried to have activities ready for the girls. Our days tend to go much better when we have activities to do rather than them on their own playing which usually winds up in constant whining and fighting. So the first day we were super busy, I was naive thinking we would only be home one day. The girls made muffins, painted canvas boards, finished their Valentines, play dough and made rice crispy treats for the Valentines Party. Painting was by far their favorite thing we did all day.
The next day not all the roads had been cleared so we were home bound again and managed to keep busy and maintain my sanity. Friday the daycare opened up and the girls were able to go for their Valentines Party.
Kim, you are such a FUN mom! How do you come up with all these activities? It makes me want to come over to play!
