Too cold to play outside, so we are finding things to do to stay busy. While the Narnia audiobooks are on in our background constantly, we are hanging out in this tiny house together.
Here are a few peeks into our days.
Pipe cleaners everywhere... bags and bags of them. Piles of creations are taking over the house. Lately it's hermit crabs -- pipe cleaner crabs have moved into all of our spare shells in this little set-up. Chloe even made pipe cleaner moss. (I know none of this makes sense if you aren't hermit crab obsessed like these two.)
Spirograph is always good for a few days in a row of morning-to-night hunching on the floor. They are both getting really artistic with their patterns.
New play-doh! We haven't bought this stuff in years so it was a pretty special treat to have some again. The 'tiny dinos' were having a costume party one morning (and all the way up to lunch time).
Also, we refilled the rice box for the first time in years. Evan was just as excited as Chloe. This is where you can find them on any given day. The tiny dinos live in the box, repurposing my empty tea boxes as their condos. What a life :-)
Even though the audio books are on constant repeat (we are nearly through the series for the second time), Evan loves to read his own copies. He has pretty much moved on from the phase where he would sit down with a stack of picture books. Now it's one book with a bookmark in it that he brings everywhere.
Chloe will spend hours doing puzzles. She has this crazy method of doing them one on top of the other. I have no idea how her brain can conceive of what is going on there. Visual overload for me, but a party for her.
Well, hopefully the weather will turn soon and we'll be back to playing outside.
