We're in the midst of a blizzard here in Chicagoland [over 1 foot in the last 8 hours!], so the kids & I are homebound! :) Becka's school was canceled for today. I'm trying to come up with creative activities & games for a 3-1/2 year old & 22 month old, but it's a challenge. We've colored, done play-dough, sang, wrestled, painted, made a tent in the living room, baked bread, done a puppet show, tried to count the snowflakes - you get the idea. Then I remembered we'd gotten a package yesterday in a larger box - A-HA ... Boxes make great toys! So we pulled out the box and made a boat. Both kids fit inside and were tickled pink as I sang Row, row, row your boat while pushing the boat around the house. Then Becka started to sing:
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life goes down the drain!
Uh-oh! Looks like I need to work on those lyrics with her!

Sounds like you found plenty to do on that crazy day! I wish I was having that much fun that day.
Sure reminds me of the past when I was raising my own large family. My daughter Maureen once said she thought we lived in a craft store because everyday after school there were ornaments to make or candles or toys or pictures or mobiles or other crafts. She thought everyone did those things. Lots of love, Aunt Elizabeth
