Having Calla home from school for a week provides several new scenarios. We can sleep in as long as our one-year old will allow.
We can stay in our jammies until crazy hours - all the while hoping nobody plans to drop in and surprise us.
The best part is having Calla and Amelia being able to play together for long periods of time.
Today they were in full imagination mode. They built a makeshift fort on Amelia's bed and proceed to make all kinds of stories as to why they had this incredible fort.
Princesses. Robbers. Secret far-away lands.
On our ride home from running errands, they played a rousing game of "shout-out-any-color-you-see." It was a great idea...until you enter in the fact that our trip home is almost all country roads. Amelia shouted out several colors while Calla kept shouting "brown.brown. brown. broooooooooooooooown." Then she looked to the sky and started into, "Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue." Ok. time for a new game.
At home, more books were read in the fort. Playdoh cookies were made. So much fun.
And there's another day filled with opportunity coming again tomorrow...
