Sick

Everyone at our house has been sick for a while. I think we are finally out of the woods, but we're all still trying to kick the cough. Because we were sick N and I did not leave the house that much last week. I get "cabin fever" verrrry easily, so one day N and I drove around town finding and watching all of the construction equipment we could find. I think we hit a few drive through's for meds and food just to get out of the house. While we were at home we did some more crafting when we felt well enough. We also built just about everything you can imagine with couch cushions - ramps, forts and "the Olympics" as we call it. The Olympics thing started this summer when N found an interest in the Olympic gymnastic events. I gather several cushions, pillows and blankets and position them next to the couch. N and I then take turns climbing, rolling, and walking down the cushions. It's a fun thing to do together and it's good exercise for N.

We did a neat craft today that I found on the internet. I taped a piece of clear contact paper sticky side out to our sliding glass door. I printed out Thanksgiving themed clip art and bought colorful feathers for N to stick to the contact paper. After he was done sticking things to the contact paper I placed a second piece of contact paper on top of his little creation and made it into a place mat.

We don't have much going on tomorrow, but are looking forward to a play date with friends on Friday. I'm sure N will be extactic to play with his little friends again.
