Today

Ok, so today Brent HAD to go to work snow or now as there is only so much leave we can burn on snow days.  I thought I was going to take M to Ms Courtney's, but was disabused of that idea after talking to Brent about his trip to work-- yes, I am a wimp and did not drive the possibly 3 mile round trip-- HOWEVER, I did not wind up in a ditch with two small children which was super. Anyway, so I took the day off and hung out with the kids. Here is a very brief run down of what happened next:

We played:
We read:  (assume each was read between 1-5 times)
We ate:
  • Homemade Cinnamon rolls
  • Cereal (obviously)
  • Frozen blueberries + Bread and Butter (snack)
  • Corn Potato Chicken Chowder  (M had this for lunch for 45 minutes....)
  • PB&J on Homemade Bread
  • Graham crackers (afternoon snack)
  • Tuna Alphabet Pasta
  • Roasted Butternut Squash
  • Birthday Fudge
Housework:
  • Two loads of laundry
  • Two loads of dishes
  • Cleaning the table and the floor every time M eats...
  • Cleaning up many post-play messes
That is a small taste of our day.  I'm pretty sure I've forgotten MANY things.  In short, if you gave us toys over the last few weeks, they ARE getting played with!  Today I definitely savored.  I mostly stayed away from technology.  I focused on the kids and they focused right back.  It was a long day, but so fun.  Hard to believe how many things we did, but I'm so glad I had this "vacation."

Ps.... yes, we do have just a bit of cabin fever.

P.P.S. --- this is not a normal day
