Stop fighting and get busy

With today Day five of being stuck inside because of snow and sickness, we are all about crazy. The kids are all too sick to go out, yet not sick enough to stay in the bed. After playing all week inside they are becoming bored, now they don't feel good and are sick of one another. I have cleaned all I care to clean and have absolutely had it with all their fighting. So to ease all the tension I decided to get them active doing something productive. I cleared out my kitchen threw soap and water all over the floor and we had our very own inside slip n slide. In less than five minutes everyone was laughing and having fun. Fussy Jacob sat attentively giggling and watching trying to understand what they were doing. The girls loved it, my floor got clean, and now they are too tired to fight. The girls said it was the best punishment they have ever had. It was a win win situation!
