Still home today

We stayed home again today, Olivia and I. We headed to the doctor first thing, and then we decided it best that we have one more day at home before going to school with a runny nose.

Anyway, after 1 episode of Blue's Clues, that was it for mommy. So Olivia and I headed out to the Michael's to get some stuff for a fun filled day of crafts.

Paints are always a good choice. And she likes them with the brush, NOT finger paints. With finger paints she says, "mommy get it off!" So we got some standard water colors and some washable glitter paint, some foam stickers, colored pom pons and glue! What fun.

As you can see, she originally was wearing the smock...(and still the band-aid)
but that soon came off and the blue paint was all over her shirt and arm in tattoo form.
After a shower and a nap and a change of clothes, there was more "making pictures" but this time I opted out of the glitter paint and just let her have the stickers, water color and glue.With Olivia feeling so well, and the day being slightly warm, we had high hopes for the rest of the week; go to school, play outside, walk home, play outside, etc. And then there it was again...

Look at that snow! Thank God for arts and crafts...to a degree. It looks like Olivia is having fun, but I don't envy the cleanup involved afterwards. :)

When do the mommies get to take a sick day?
