boredom

What happens when your baby sister is sick and your mommy makes you stay in quarantine? Well, apparently you have to find your own form of entertainment. Oh, and what do your eyes spy? Could it be? How cool... a paper towel roll, those are so fun to "toot-toot" in and use as a telescope. Hmmm, there is only one problem though... there seems to be actual paper towels on it. What is one to do? Unroll them all in order to get to the prize:

then, later in the day :
Sam is hooked on 2 shows right now, "bear bear" (aka: prayer bear) and "hearse melmo" (aka: Elmo in the wild wild west) --he calls it horse elmo because elmo is on a horse. After having these shows on many, many, many times throughout the day (yes, I felt sorry for the boy, so he got to watch more tv than normal) I had finally had enough and said NO he could watch 'hearse melmo' later. I guess this was not a good enough answer, he decided to take things into his own hands. This is what Kirk found when he got home from work:
Yes, that is the DVD box sticking out of the VCR. ARGGGHHH. guess that is why he was quiet while I started on supper.
I am soooo happy to say, we are all healthy now and back out and about :)
