We are at home for another snow day, which means no preschool, no babysitting room at the gym, and because it's so cold out, no playing outside. So I am looking for ideas to entertain these two for a whole day. Remember we just had two straight weeks at home. You would think that with all the new Christmas presents they would have plenty to do. But...the first thing they asked for was the old standby, the Play-Doh table.
What mom wouldn't trade 20 minutes of cleanup for an hour of peaceful playtime? I was able to start two loads of laundry (one is in the dryer, another in the washer), put waterproof mattress covers on the boys' beds, get some Facebook and CafeMom time, and I'm even blogging...all before 9:15 am!
Unfortunately, this is all before 9:15 am, and we still have two hours before lunch and even longer before Tom gets home... I'm still thinking about ideas for things to do later.
But...back to the Play-Doh.
I have no idea what Nile is doing here.
Below is the aftermath. This is just a shot of the table. In the picture at the end, you may be able to see some of the thousands (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but there had to be hundreds) of tiny pieces of Play-Doh that are on the floor.
It was quite messy.
I got a small lightweight stick vacuum from Tom's mom for Christmas. I have used it every day. But no day have I been more thankful for it than today. What would have taken me a long time to pick up by hand was actually not too bad.
Now, off to figure out entertainment for the next few hours.
