PROJECT 365- Day 59 - My Babies (all 4 of them)
The Boy was home sick today. Sandy didn't leave his side once all day. When The Bear and The Princess came home from school The Boy was happy to see them, they were concerned how he was feeling and Sandy was finally able to relax when all of "the babies" were home. They all chilled out and watched some TV before dinner.
PROJECT 365- Day 58 - One Sleepy 5 year old
The Boy is still sick. He isn't throwing up anymore for which I am very thankful. But he has been sleeping on and off all day. He napped on the couch three times and then at 4 pm (yes 4 pm) he went upstairs and crawled into bed. It is now almost 10 pm and I am hoping that he is just sleeping off the yuck that has been in his system this weekend. However I can not help being freaked out by the fact that my sleepy 5 year old put himself to bed at 4 pm.
PROJECT 365- Day 57 - A Fabulous Fashion Designer!
We were supposed to go to the beach today to see Poppy for his birthday. We were packed and ready to walk out the door when The Boy threw up like he was auditioning for The Exorcist. Unfortunately that was going to make a 4 hour drive a challenge, so we had to unpack and resign ourselves to the idea that we were bailing on Poppy for the second weekend in a row! UGH! The Boy was crying, The Bear and The Princess were disappointed but trying not to make The Boy feel bad, and I was just sad for both not going and having a sick kid again! So the picture today was almost going to be the packed car that needed to be unpacked. I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of The Boy - he just looked too sad and pathetic.
Then after a few hours, The Princess asked me to come and see something that she had done. This is what I found - She had stacked blocks to make two mannequins and had "designed" two dresses. Later on she even added accessories - necklaces, purses, etc... :-) This truly made me smile! I love creativity! I love that she came up with this all on her own. I love making the best of a crappy day! I love that someday I might have my own personal designer!
PROJECT 365 - Day 56 - THE WEEKEND IS HERE!!!!
In this house, video games are not allowed during the week. As it is, there is not much time after school we don't need to add video games. I know...I'm such a hard a** right? haha So today when The Bear got in the car he asked if he could play his video game tonight. I said "No, you know that..." Then he reminded me that it was Friday. I had totally forgot! For a three day school week, it sure did seem like it went on forever..... But now the weekend is officially here as evidenced by the rapt attention to the television screen, controllers at the ready and a full on battle with Darth Vader taking place in the playroom.
PROJECT 365- Day 55 - Whatcha Doing?
It was raining outside when the kids got home from school today. So they headed down to the playroom to play. This usually involves going up and down the stairs countless times. On one of their trips upstairs as they zoomed past I caught a glimpse of a tail.... So I grabbed my camera for the return trip downstairs that I knew was coming. As they passed me I said..."Whatcha doing?". I was slightly curious why my youngest child was dressed as Eeyore. Not surprised, mind you, just slightly curious. The Bear tells me "I'm playing a soccer game." The Princess tells me "I'm the cheerleader". The Boy tells me "I'm the mascot". Makes perfect sense.
PROJECT 365- Day 54 - Pandora Makes Me Happy....
A 3 day weekend turned into a 4 day weekend because of the snow.... Now don't get me wrong.....I ♥ having everyone home. However, when I came back from dropping the kids off at school this morning, the house was quiet. That called for some Pandora while finishing up laundry. Today's mix was an R&B station based on the song "F**k You" by Cee lo Green (clearly can't listen to that with the kids home) .........;-)
PROJECT 365- Day 53- Star Wars and Snow Days
The Bear and The Boy spent time playing Star Wars together before going to play in the snow. They had all their guys, the ships, and a cool spot to play under an end table. It was a good way to spend part of their snow day - giving their imaginations a workout!
