Happy Nappy Place

Ollie Bear would like to book a Daddy Date for Saturday. Right here.


By the way it's been a strange week. Monday was a holiday. Tuesday a snow day. Wednesday a two-hour delay {and Bleu missed gym}. Thursday our only normal day. Today another snow day {and Bleu missed makeup gym}. It's been a stormy January in the Northeast. Buby's school is in a mountainous region, so closures due to ice are common.


Not that I'm complaining. I'm all sneezy today, so a pajama party and no driving sounds just right. Until cabin fever sets in, that is. Oh that cabin fever. It gets us every time.


On Tuesday we baked cookies for a sick friend, played a ton, cooked together, and cleaned house. On the agenda for today: Build a campfire out of standard unit blocks, construct real "flying wings" out of paper, yarn and a hole punch, finish five jumbo floor puzzles, fold at least two paper airplanes, read a whole lot of books, race across the {clean!} playroom in our potato sacks, dance off to Single Ladies, try to make Ollie giggle himself silly, and "skip count" from 1 to 100 by 3s.


I need to carve out a smidgen of time while nursing to deal with health insurance claims, flex spending receipts, Bleu's preschool application, laundry, dirty bathrooms, and a 46-page parent handbook. And the children are just begging for a nature hike down to the bakery. Bien sure.


Happy snow day. Happy weekend.
