Stuck inside

At the end of August our street was resurfaced, so we were stuck inside for a day because we didn't want to have to hike the kids up and down the hill to where we would have had to park. So we made the morning a little more interesting than usual to make up for not getting to go anywhere like we usually do.

We started with buckwheat pancakes. Abby got to help--she broke her first egg! (Broke is a good word for it, too, let me tell you.) Thanks to Eric Carle we had a whole narrative to go with the story. (Jack woke up, looked out the window and thought, "I'd like to have a big pancake for breakfast....") 


Despite how the picture looks, PJ never actually tried any of the pancake. She did, however, try to spear it with the fork. Even though she basically still doesn't eat solid foods (we have an evaluation at the Star Center's Feeding and Swallowing Clinic on the 16th, yay), she's trying to use utensils nowadays--she even puts her Cheerios on a spoon once in a while!

After that it was bath time, with an extended play time for the girls.

After we were dressed we made paper bag puppets.



(Days like these are great for dressing in your favorite leotard, don't you think?)

After that was lunch and naptime and then I had to work on my scenes, so unfortunately it was all pretty much downhill from there. But, regardless, we had a good time!
