Been at home for a week now with three sick girlies... 

We are getting a little stir-crazy but I thank God that we have a nice and warm home where we can rest, play and get better.

Numbers:

My mom recently bought this writing mat by Melissa and Doug for the girls and it has been a big hit. 

Colored Pencils: 

There's always some kind of coloring, drawing, painting going on around here...

Pom Poms: 

Since we're at home (and I found some colorful tissue paper), we started making some decoration for Big Sister's birthday...
which is this Saturday!!  She will be turning 3!!

PJs and blankets: 

We've been around these all week. 

Fevers, boogies, and coughs please go away and don't come back for a long long time...

Around the House

Alphabet worksheets: 

Two biggest sisters love learning and writing their letters. 

Journals: 

I love journals. I have one for each of my girls.  One for my notes, prayer requests, etc. 

And many more from the past. 

Doggy bed:

Littlest sister loves using Mochi's bed as a chair. I don't blame her, it's so soft and comfy. 

And Mochi doesn't mind it either. She loves it when littlest sister sits with her.
