My Feb Cabin Fever Cures

• Stay in your pajamas all day or dress up like a princess


• Eat popcorn and watch a movie (or 4)


• Cover the table and paint endlessly, allowing all the colors in the paint to blend together like plato and not get annoyed by it.


• Have leftover cupcakes for breakfast


• Let the kids take a bath forever while you clean their room (I can still see them)


• Call Grandmas and Grandpas, uncles and aunts


• Update your blog and respond to old emails


• Take pictures and videos of the kids and upload them to FB


• Schedule future play dates


• Read your long overdue book next to the kids while they watch another Dora or Backyardigans


• Pay Bills


• Let the kids make Valentines cookies. I have all day so they can take as long as they want. They are the ones eating them so they can lick every surface and crack every egg and stir everything. Without a rolling pin they can just push the dough down far enough to flatten it out.


• Practice recognizing letters and their sounds and cutting with scissors


• Take the opportunity to make healthy heart shaped pancakes and smoothies with hidden spinach


• Grind some wheat for future bread and pancakes


• Let the kids pick out my clothes to wear (I am not leaving so it doesn't matter)
