I was down with a cold yesterday, no surprise after nursing 3 little girls through high fevers and colds all last week. Luckily, the recovering girls stayed very close to me yesterday and allowed me to rest without too much chaos.
They sat here on the rug in front of the sofa in the learning room for quite a while a played with puzzles, the train, read books and colored. BTW, isn't that rug fabulous? I just got it off of craigslist last week for $25!!!
This is a shot of my kitchen table at about 3:00 in the afternoon with breakfast and lunch still waiting to be cleaned up. Yikes!
This is Olivia entertaining me in the early evening. She is clown with a cape draped over her face and she keeps running into things because she can't see. She felt so much better yesterday that she was silly, bordering on insane.
Saragh also entertained me as a clown with her "pony" Philbert aka Merriadoc.
The boys, of course, were nowhere to be found, and thus they were entertaining in their own way. As a "reward" for everyone being so cooperative yesterday, they got to watch 2 movies today. Not to mention, it gave me plenty of time to finish the sweater I was working on and get the house back in shape.
