recouping.

thank you for the get well wishes!

after a rough night with mikey, it looks like we are coming out of the woods as far as gross bodily fluids are concerned.  we spent today (the first day of the kids' easter vacation) hanging out at home.  which for some reason happens to be my kids' very favorite thing to do.  often mikey will ask me in the morning, "mommy, stay home today and do nothing all day long?"  you'd think he'd be hoping i'd have some great outing planned.  but no, he actually loves staying home and gets all excited when i say YES!  and because i love him and like making him happy, i try to say YES fairly often.  yep, that's the reason.

here's part of the 'nothing' we did today...

glitter play dough time!  mikey thought this little bear mold was great.

his little sister wanted one too...

and if the others have something, this one definitely must have one too.

but soon she tired of squishy little bears and went to the kitchen to make us a snack.

while the other two went ahead and made birthday cakes.  hmm, it seems that they have birthdays on the brain lately.

i like watching this one work.  he's always so meticulous in what he does.  i also like his glowing ear.  :)

carefully placing rockets all around his cake.

then he put three candles on top and said it was for me!  mmm, looks delicious!  :)

then they said they were done with play dough and went inside to watch sesame street and eat grapes.

ahh, what a life.

thanks for checking in on us.  here's a kiss until next time, friends!
