Since Zoe was feeling pretty wretched today with symptoms of lethargy, whining, no appetite and extreme clinginess, we decided to cancel our outdoor activities and stay home.
After the favorite morning shows were finished, we all got a little antsy so we decided to build a rocketship to the moon and take Zoe's stuffed "alien" home to visit his Mommy and Daddy.
We sacrificed one of the massive moving boxes that we haven't Freecycled yet, cut out holes and decorated with construction paper moons and stars, markers and stickers. Both girls would go into the rocketship at the same time and the giggling that would ensue would shake the whole box. We had more than a few crash landings.
After all this activity, Zoe was exhausted and went to nap sobbing "I want my Daddy." Chris is always the caretaker when the girls are sick, or recovering from surgery (probably because he is usually the one not freaking out) and they always want him when they're feeling yucky. When he got home from work, Zoe made up for lost time and made him hold her for most of the evening.
said she was a "girl" astronaut...hmmm.
I let Zoe pick her outfit todayShe opted for her giraffe costume.

That... is.... awesome! Why can't we all be allowed to wear our costumes whenever we want?
Julie, you're such a cool mom.
You were right, Julie - the rocketship turned out really well!! Hang on to some of those boxes for New Year's!!
You guys are the cutest family. I love all the stuff you do with the girls.
NOW she wants the costume? :)
Poor thing, but what fun with the rocket ship...I am so wanting a refrigerator box for an idea I've been brewing.
Hi Julie. Thanks for your support on our decision to stay here. It was tough, but I'm glad to know what we're doing now!
The dresses: Ella's is from Target. We had to find something that would match the color of Abby's, because hers was Ella's 2 years ago. Target has so many cute dresses, and a lot of them would coordinate if you didn't want the exact same dress for each of the girls. Happy hunting!
Is that the same costume that Zoe refused to wear leading up to Halloween!
Adorable! I love it!
Sometimes those kinds of days are the very best ones. A giraffe going to the moon? Sounds perfect to me!
how cute! Cam would go crazy for a cardboard rocketship.
Hope Zoe is feeling better!
