Making the Most of Being Homebound

Summer started with a sold temp of 104 and that was not the outside temp but the children's as they started dropping like flies.   Not how I had hoped our summer would start.  Those who remained healthy, enjoyed the endless TV time with the sickies, swimming and some homemade games:

We practiced our alphabet and had letter races.  Mom drew a flash card and they raced on their alphabet to find the letter first.  This was a big hit.

We made this simple game with a stick, a homemade pom and a cream cheese container.  They love trying to get their pom into the cup and its great hand eye coordination too.  

Sweet girls all cuddled up, feel better soon!

These caterpillar's were fun and simple enough for the girls to make.  Now I have a nice door stop to keep the pool fence open when needed.   Other ideas are bees, lady bugs,  I love the snowman!  Here are some photos I found on line to inspire!





Just use "grown up craft paint" and then add a clear coat to add shine. The girls did the dots with an inexpensive craft sponge dot brush! Enjoy!

Summer Delayed :(

Summer has had to be put on hold in our home...while we battle the final flu. Not a fun way to kick off summer and its hard to keep the house quiet for those who are sleeping as the wage war against their virus.

Luckily the weather was spring like no oven mits required so those that have not fallen victim enjoyed:

Hopefully the rest of us will be spared, one can hope!

Crazy Good!
