What to do on a sick day?

I kept Jojo home from school today so we had to find something to keep her and Jakey from getting too restless. We decided to make a chain to count down the days til Jojo's Christmas break, Jason coming home, and Christmas. Each night Jakey will cut one ring off the chain.

After doing the chain, I built them a fort out of the couch cushions and a blanket. They did some reading in it, ate lunch, and told silly stories to each other.

I let them have a jammie day and since we had leftover balloons from the party on Saturday, we even played some volleyball.

This has kept them busy so far (it's only noon), hopefully a movie will do the trick for a little bit. So far, Jojo is feeling much better. She hasn't gotten sick since yesterday, but she's still tired and slowly getting her appetite back. Jakey and I are feeling fine, so we hope that continues.

We did the chain countdown! So fun.

You can have them trace their hands and one foot and make reindeer (foot is head and hands are antlers).

I hope everyone starts feeling better soon!
