the ledge connecting our living room and kitchen is lined with:
tissues
2 inhalers
air chamber for inhaler
ibuprofen
Tylenol
and a medicine dropper
guess what that means?
Sickness has descended upon our household.
Plan canceled and videos ready. Let's see how long it takes us to go stir-crazy. I'm betting 2 days. Any ideas to keep kids happy at home while sick?

living room tents are always a hit!!
Oh man! I hope everyone recovers soon. We've been passing a cold or two around our little family for the past couple weeks and I am ready to be done.
So, here are my tips for entertaining sick little ones. I recommend a healthy rotation of movies, crafty stuff (playdough, coloring, etc.), and giving them random household items. Examples: give them each a whisk (mine magically turn into swords or guns), cooling racks and a bunch of quicklocks to attach (I save quicklocks just for this purpose). We sometimes build parking garages out of blocks and cookie sheets, but maybe girls would enjoy building a city out of blocks? I have also used pandora.com and made a music station with Disney songs. And then there is always the couch cushion fort or dining table tent. I am not the most creative mama, but sometimes the best inspiration hits when my eyes are desperately roaming the house looking for *anything* to give them.
Okay, guess I rambled a bit. I hope you guys get through this quickly!
sorry buddy. hoping clean, germ free air invades your house sooner than later and everyone is back to their healthy selves soon!!
I was going to say build a tent fort too...just like your other commenter! Movies and snuggles are easy too!
bekah - you cannot say that you are not creative. Looking around the rooming and coming up with idea, that's called creative. :) we went and got boxes at a furniture store, we are coloring them now. I'm doing to pull out the tent thing soon too.
