Snow Day...and Crafts...

Well, here we are in the middle of a snow day (well, the beginning).  Snow days are few and far between because we're used to getting snow, and lots of it.  The problem is when Mother Nature can't decide what season we're in and it warms up and freezes after the snow melts.  That kinda happened over night.  Yesterday it rained and snowed most of the day and it was a slushy mess.  Then last night it snowed about 6 inches (at least at our house it was about 6 inches).  So they called school for the day.  I could've driven in and taken Erica to daycare, but I had my work computer, so we're trying to work from home.  The trick is that she's trying to grab all my attention (as evidence by the fact that I'm posting this and not working).  I'm hoping to get back to work and have her distracted long enough until her neighbor friend can be called to play.

So she's making Christmas ornaments for her teachers.  She's punching circles and flower circles, folding them in half, and gluing them together to make dimensional balls.  Then we'll punch holes and put string thru them to hang them on the tree.  It took a little time to get her set up and gluing them at the folds consistently, but now she's on auto pilot (yeah).  Here she is...don't you just love the cute little pink tool bag?  It's a mini version of mine.
