Cabin Fever

As probably everyone knows, the weather here has been pretty bad - and so we have all 4 been at home pretty much constantly for 4 days. We were blessed to have Neal's work not open each day so that we didn't have to worry about him on the icy roads and so we had him around to play with us too! So when you are home for 4 days, you pretty much use up all of your entertainment resources: NetFlix streaming, art projects galore (including all the fun art stuff we got from Christmas), tents, a cardboard color-it-yourself playhouse, and just about every toy from the playroom! I took a few pictures of some of the most fun we had - although now I am not 100% sure what day this was...they all run together!

We built a whole Zhu Zhu Pet city which allowed us to find the long-lost Pinkalicious (seen in Meredith's hands above) and Meredith and I even sewed a bed for her big hamsters and one for her baby ones. It was supposed to be a project I did for her right after I got my sewing machine, but I kept getting side-tracked. This week seemed like the perfect time to make sure it happened!

Jillian loved reading books as much as possible but also insisted that, although we pretty much stayed in PJs all week, that she needed a bow! She did a pretty good job of picking one out that matched her jammies!

Then an impromptu PJ marching band broke out.

As you can see, everyone took turns on the singing in the mic, playing the drum (a coffee can with a toy whisk), and leading the band with Meredith's toy violin bow
