Snow Day #2

I have never had two consecutive snow days from work until now.  Today was my second day off due to the icy roads.  Mia's daycare was closed also.  I couldn't stay in my pajamas all day again, so I got us both dressed.  We didn't go anywhere, though.  Mia had toys and books strewn all over the house.  She's getting really stir crazy.  She's a two-year-old ball of energy, so it's hard for her to stay cooped up in the house for two days.  I tried to keep her occupied.  We read books, colored, played with her toys, etc.  She likes going upstairs to our family room, so we spent some time up there.  Wesley and I have been sorting through tons of boxes and papers up there, and it's still kind of a mess.  Mia doesn't care.  She just pulls out a bunch of toys and either lays in the floor coloring or sits on the futon watching the Disney channel.  I think she was craving a change of scenery.  I just found out that her daycare is closed again tomorrow, so we have Snow Day #3 to look forward to.  I kind of feel like a stay at home mom right now.  I love it!  I've been doing laundry and keeping the dishes washed.  It's a good feeling.  I'm gonna have to get creative on Mia's entertainment tomorrow.  It's far too cold to let her play outside, so I'll have to come up with activities we haven't done yet.  I'd better get to thinking about that!
She had so many toys piled around her room. It was like a mine field!
 Mia started tossing all of her toys in the crib.  I guess when you're bored you just make up your own games to play.

 Reading Garrison Keillor's "Daddy's Girl".  She crouched like this the whole time she was reading it.  I guess she felt comfortable like that.  I would have had to sit myself down on the floor.
