Winter woes

This week has just been one of "those" weeks. We started off with S having a little bit of a fever and a cold, and ended up with 3 sick children and a sick Mummy - all with the same virus! Cupcake had developed a chesty cough, fever and wheeze. She then gave it to Toto, who decided not to do things in halves and has developed his fourth bout of bronchiolitis in less than four months!!

So not a lot has been done in this household.

And all of a sudden it is Monday again.

Wow.

Doesn't time pass quickly!

To celebrate the end of the week (and try keep Cupcake quiet as she is on a prednisone high) we decided to introduce....

Family Fun Night!

The girls are quite enamoured of my monster totes and monster pencil cases that I have been making. So we decided to have a monster themed family fun night. It was quick, cheap and easy. Perfect for a Mummy who had been stuck inside all week with sick kids. And more importantly, it was a change!

Introducing....

 

The food!

Its not very clear here, but we had green(ish) coloured popcorn.

 

 

My attempt at making Mike Wazowski cupcakes

 



The movie snuggletime!

 

Pillows on the floor and a blanket to snuggle under with Daddy (Mummy was cuddling a crying baby during the entire movie)

 

 

This is what Toto did while we watched movies (when he wasn't cuddling Mummy and crying)

 

 

The Craft!

 

We found a picture of "Boo" from the movie, cut out her face and stuck a picture of each family  member underneath, so that it looked like the girls' were in the monster outfit. Picture was a colouring page from google images.

 

 

 

  

A frugal, fun success!
