I didn’t have a drop of alcohol yesterday, but I feel like I should have rubbed lemon in my armpits before going to bed last night. My brain is trying to gnaw through the front of my head. Every time my little guy cough-barks, I want to peel my face off and set my chomping brain free. I’m not sure I’ll make it to noon.
In order to survive Easter and its lilies, I have to take allergy medicine. It made me cranky and tired and I’m sure everyone had a grand time hanging out with my snarling self yesterday.
We did have a reasonably pleasant holiday with early morning egg hunting in our living room followed by breakfast at church and lunch at Grandma’s.
Blah blah blah.
Last week or the week before, I followed a link from one blog to another and found this idea for filling a long, shallow box with rice for an indoor “sand” box. I spent an hour this morning trying to track down that link, so if you know where I saw it, holla. Thanks.
Edit: Toddler Planet’s whymommy remembered where I saw it. I clicked from her blog to Girl Gone Wild. I even commented on that entry.
This is what my littlest one got for Easter:
I found this: http://multiples.about.com/od/familyfun/a/indoorfunsand.htm
I don’t know whether it’s the one.
Perhaps you saw it at http://biblestyle.wordpress.com/2007/03/21/boys-contruction-playland/ via my post http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com/2007/03/29/on-partnerships/ or Works for me Wednesday at Rocks in My Dryer.
Fun idea, huh? We did it too, but got rice all over the playroom. Love to hear how it works for you….
It’s fun, but there is rice all over the kitchen. It keeps him entertained for a few minutes at a time, so I’ll put up with it.
It helps that my daughter recently discovered she likes sweeping.
Hey guys…really glad you all like the idea. I, like yourselves, am having to use it more indoors and Gremlin’s not as careful with the flinging of rice as he was at first. Needless to say, I’ll be glad once it warms up a bit and it can go back out to the front porch.
At my son’s daycare (”call it work”) they sometimes fill the shallow bucket with inexpensive coffee grounds. They work well as a play medium, but the children smell of coffee.
I think a coffee-scented child sounds delicious.
