This morning I woke up really feeling under the weather. I felt the beginnings of a nasty cold coming. I got the girls set up with breakfast, chugged some water, and went and got back in bed. (Have I mentioned that I LOVE having children at the age of independence?) Surprisingly, the girls didn't spend their whole morning watching cartoons, which they know how to turn on themselves. Gracey spent the morning drawing pictures and making her own envelopes for them and Emily was her shadow. Thankfully the fighting has been minimal.
Once I woke up again and feeling much better, the girls were still playing happily together. Their latest thing to keep them entertained was building a fort with their bunk beds. I did help them tuck the blankets under the top bunk, but it was all their idea. They started playing in this at about 11:00AM, took a half hour lunch break, and now at about 3:00PM they are still fully entertained. I have been able to put away Christmas decorations and relax.
Of course, the obligatory pictures....

I was just catching up on you past few posts--looks like you had a great December! Hey, can you have Corky give Eric a few pointers?
You ARE spoiled!! I can't wait for those ages. I'm still where both kids need me endlessly and the thought of going back to bed after my kids wake up NEVER enters my mind unless I'm dreaming. Can't wait for those days!! Enjoy it!
What cute girls! So awesome that they entertained themselves all day! I must say that those quilts are adorable too!
I can't wait for those ages either. Awesome fort!
