Sick day

I woke up with a sore throat this morning.  Nevertheless, I told myself, I get up and when everybody is out of the house, I can rest.

Good plan!

Only the two school children also woke up with sore throats and yucky lesions on their tonsils, so here we are, the three of us.  Nobody is sick enough to lie listlessly in bed, so we are doing school work, practice reading and spelling words, and do crafts.

It's snowing, so the world is a dreary black-and-white washout.  We needed a splash of color! I turned to my favoritest craft blog, Skip to my Lou, and found a nice Valentine's craft that comes courtesy of Martha Stewart.  First, the boys were not interested at all.  But then they saw that it involved an iron, and the lure of that was too great to resist.  It kept them busy for half an hour which in my house counts as a huge success.

And the prettiness on the window makes me happy:

Next, we want to try our hands at felting a solar system.  And if you think that sounds strange, I'm right there with you.

Pretty and wonderfully colourful.
