swine flu scare school closure break: day two

And we survived another day! Today was not as happy go lucky as yesterday, but it still wasn't horrible. We didn't get necklaces strung or Monopoly played because I had a metric ton of cub scout Twilight Camp stuff to do, orders to take care of and cleaning to do. The kids were left to their own devices until the hey! that's mine! he took my -insert Lego piece/Star Wars character/art supply here-! began to bubble up and then there were time outs.

Molly has reached the point where she insists on dressing herself. Today's ensemble was awesome: a sort of psychedelic tee (with paisleys and birds and orange and purple and pink print) and bloomers covered in pink and red cherries. Pink flip flops were a must. And that child strutted around like a peacock once she got everything on her little body. It was a sight to behold, especially after she covered herself in grey Crayola marker.



The boys spent a lot more non-negotiable time in their bedroom today so I took some of that time to compile another seller appreciation photo for one of my Etsy shop sales. I've decided I'll do it for my Etsy shop sales through the summer as time and children permit. I'm already dreaming up different scenarios and location shoots. Clearly, I have no problem keeping myself entertained...

Monopoly is top on the list tomorrow and then necklaces because Thursday the kids are back to school! Apparently the CDC, local health department and ISD officials jumped the gun on these school closures. Go figure. Good job, Chicken-Little Media Folk. Whatever will we do when the sky actually IS falling?

I will leave you with some snaps of my champion gerbera daisies (they're champions because they all manage to survive my brown thumb!):
