We had a relaxing day today. Pnut claimed that she didn't feel well enough for school so we did art projects and played games. We tried Red Rover and Sorry today for the first time. Red Rover is a game that my MIL got Pill for Christmas, and both the girls enjoyed. They actually can play that one by themselves so we will probably do that again soon. Sorry started out very well, but eventually Pilly threw in the towel. We were really almost done, and really I thought she did well. We also took the ornaments off the tree and put most of the Christmas stuff away with many sad phrases coming from the girls' mouths. This afternoon, after a short nap because of Pnut's coughing, we played games and then drew. I've been meaning to mention the two books we got the girls for Christmas. The first is one that we found pictures from on Pinterest for drawing:

It is a really fun book with simple drawings. The girls are going through it page by page, and at the beginning are a bunch of birds. The first day we drew a chick and today was a rooster so we added chicks to our pages after we finished our roosters. It is fun to see what they draw for backgrounds.
The second book was for Pilly because of her love of dogs:

This one is a little more advanced so we have only done one drawing out of it. Pilly got a little frustrated because of all the small details. Her fine motor skills are quite there yet. But, really, you could tell what she was trying to draw. It is a fun way to spend the afternoon!
