Snow Days and Sick Days and More Sick Days

We've had a lot of snow lately and a lot of sick girls. First Hannah was sick. Then Sophie was sick. Now Hannah is sick again. Needless to say we've spent a lot of time indoors. Here are a few of our favorite projects.

This was a big hit. A baking pan, some dishwashing detergent and straws=two very happy girls. Another mom suggested I fill a pan with water and dishwashing liquid and let them blow bubbles. It was a big hit.

Even better. I made some dyed pasta for Sophie and Hannah to play with. They made necklaces...
And sorted them into different jars.
This seriously kept them entertained for hours. But all good things must come to an end. By day two, they figured out how to squash the noodles into a million pieces on the floor which they decided was much more entertaining than sorting them in glass jars.

And finally, egg carton flowers.

We did manage to get out and play in the snow!

Putting them to work! Just kidding. Mom Mom bought them these kids size snow shovels and they loved them. We had a lot of fun even though Craig had to redo the part of the driveway he had already cleared:)
A makeshift sled. Pulling the girls around on our giant snow shovel.
Making a snowman. Sophie kept insisting he needed a scarf.

The egg carton flowers are beautiful! You should put them in the frames. I didn't realize the colored beads were homemade pasta! That's really neat.
