Snowy Day

Being the cheap, economical person that I am (or like to think I am), I'm always trying to find ways to make the most of my time and money.  This morning, I think I succeeded.  Since today was a "snow day" (not for our town, but for lots of the area) and I knew Leah and I wouldn't be leaving the house, I was trying to think of ways to entertain ourselves and do some cleaning that was on my to-do list.  My decision, a couch-cushion obstacle course.  Leah is in the stage where she loves to climb and stand on everything.  Since we don't have much in our house for her to climb on, I thought this would be perfect. Plus, it allowed me to get some much needed vacuuming done.

 I used two cushions and created a little tunnel for her to crawl through.  She wasn't as impressed with the tunnel as I thought she would be.  I think she enjoyed being able to climb on the couch now that it was at her level.

 Into the tunnel she goes!

 We also stayed in our pj, a little longer than normal in honor of the snow day.

I think the couch cushion obstacle course was a win all around, I had a worn out toddler, my couch cushions are clean, and Leah had a great time.
