Fuzzy Socks and Painting with Cars



Yesterday I realized I didn't have a single photo of myself this week. We have had two snow days in a row. I was rocking my snow day gear, pjs, big sweatshirt, fuzzy socks and glasses. So this is all you are getting this week. Do you stay in pjs all day on snow days?
Join the year long challenge of getting yourself in the photo at Diary of a Church Lady. You won't regret it. This is 46/52 for me.
Project 52: Glimpse Into Motherhood
Entertaining kids during snow days is a challenge, especially with all the snow days we have had this year. I decided to let them paint with matchbox cars.



Their smiles made all the mess worth it.
Now I just need to figure out activities to occupy them for the rest of the day? When is bedtime?

Go to Simply Modern Mom to share photos of what motherhood is like each week. This is 5/52 for me.

LOL, yep! I sometimes just stay in my pj's all day. Painting with match box cars...what a fun thing to do. I think everyone in the snow states are having a big case of cabin fever.

Hi...I discovered your blog with this week's WW, and I'm following along in Reader now. Nice to "meet" you.

I love that you had the kids paint with Matchbox cars! I definitely need to keep that idea in mind for when my LO gets a little older.

Every morning i wake up at 7 and beg fir it to be 7 at night. Being creative on paper is easy to me, being creative with kids is exhausting.

those fuzzy socks are awesome. I was thinking the other day that I need to pick up some more comfy lounging pants - maybe I can wear them around town like the high school kids do :D

Caitlin looks so grown up in that pic! time flies...
