My brother-in-law suggested sending them outside in the rain to play anyways. Naomi would do it in a heartbeat. Oceana wouldn't do it for a million dollars!
So instead of outside activities, we've been finding plenty to do indoors. Coloring was one of our keep-'em-busy plans this week.
Of course, Naomi did some snacking along the way.
Oceana surprised me with her ability to finding the matches here. I didn't tell her what the page said, she was just coloring away and said, "Momma, look, this and this are the same!" [The two brown donkeys are the same, the three green ones are different]. It seems that this one is much like toilet-training "She'll do it when she's ready". :)
One of Oceana's friends turned 4 yesterday, so we put together this purple hat, using this pattern. I did use two strands of yarn to make it nice and chunky, and I didn't follow the exact decorative pattern. The actual pattern for the hat is the same though.
So that's us. :) Braving the rain and trying to keep things entertaining. :) Hope you're doing well where you are!
You're doing a wonderful job!! I attempted to draw pictures yesterday with Jarvis, unfortunately he thought the crayons made a super teething aid & ended up with a green mouth ;)
ReplyDeletelove the purple hat!! looks very warm :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in the blog world for ages, and I've missed following your blog!! Aww the two little girls are growing up... wow...
As a childcare provider, I couldn't survive the rainy season without a Jump-o-lene. It keeps them contained and happy for hours and hours. After they get tired of jumping, I fill it with plastic balls.
