We stayed home and cleaned the house today. And even though it was clean enough for a friend to come over, I didn't feel like I accomplished anything but fussing at the kids and baking more fattening food. {On a side note, why is it every time you are trying to lose weight, all you want is sweets?! UGH!} And to top it all off, it RAINED.....
So what do you do when you have cabin fever?? You break out some boxes, of course!!
We took advantage of the 5 minutes between down pours and pulled out some empty boxes. Immediately, number 1 wanted to make a house. Initially, he wanted to just share one, but I knew that would not work well with number 2. She has a mind of her own and has to do things her way. {Where ever did she get such an independence streak?! .... I have NO idea...}
We broke out the crayons {the REAL, Crayola crayons ... not the waxy substitutes (for my friend's peace of mind)} and made them into cute little homes for my sweet kiddies! Here is what they came up with:
The little princess(who dresses herself) designing her house
Welcome to the "Unicorn House" ... because it's not enough to make a house, you have to name it too!
Hard at work, covering every inch with color!
He named his "A Boosgan House" ... whatever that means! Some kind of restaurant he said. He has quite the imagination!
We like to create and craft when we have cabin fever ... What do you do when you are all couped up?!
**For those wondering, these were taken before the water slide came down...don't worry, it has all been taken down now!**
Love it! Wish we had big boxes to do that! But them again...We made brown paper lunch bag puppets this week when we were stir crazy in the house! Granted O wanted to do a snowman and it's 85 degrees outside!
