Remember those baby chicks we got a while back?
They are definitely not little chicks anymore.  And it was time to move them into the deluxe, Pinterest-worthy chicken coop that AndrĂ© built. 

We were told that it's best to move chickens to a new coop at night.  Apparently they are supposed to take better to their new surroundings that way.  I don't know if this method is truly effective, but for some strange reason we thought it would be super fun to wake the boys up in the wee hours of the night to transport the girls to their new chicken mansion.

So that's what we did.

One by one, the chickens were carried from old coop to new under the cover of darkness.  


Until all of the ladies were comfortably roosted in their new home.



And then we put the kiddos back to bed.


We have yet another round of the sickies going on in this house.

And I woke up with zilch energy to deal with two sick kids all day.

I had resigned myself to the idea that they would sit in front of the tv ALL day.

My friend Jane texted me an idea to make a batch of "throw-away" play-dough.  Honestly, I was too lazy to make any play-dough for my sick kids to use and toss, but the idea was brilliant and lucky for me we had a batch of homemade play-dough that was already sitting around and reaching its end of life anyway.



I don't know how the rest of you feel, but I LOVE play-dough.  The kids really go wild with it.  We're talking 45 minutes to an hour of occupied time...its golden.

It is a little messy, but so is just about everything else my kids like to play with.

Ok, so 1 hr down.....now what?

What do other parents do on sicks days?
