Rainbow Colours

Spiral

Stiften

It seems we can't shake off all the sickness just yet. But in between all the days on the couch and the cuddling and stroking little heads, we had a colourful day today.

The walking spiral (I have no idea how to call that in English. If there is anyone who knows the English name for it; I would happy to hear it) was a shoe present brought to our little ones by Sinterklaas. It's unbelievable how much fun you can have with something like that. And how many functions such a simple item can fulfill.
The pens were used to make a colourful garland, adorned with many hearts and kisses, for my mother's birthday party, that she gave today.

Everyone is in bed now. The children were exhausted and we look forward to a good night's sleep too. But we all agreed while getting ready for sleep: This day really had some lovely colours.

    I love the name walking spiral - it's better than what we called it, which is 'slinky'. I hope everyone feels better soon, a good nights sleep can do wonders!

    Oh you poor love. But nice pics of the slinky (such a terrible name!) and pens, and I hope you all got/are getting some sleep.

    Now that song is going to be stuck in my head for days. :)

    Hope everyone is feeling better soon!

    I haven't seen a rainbow slinky for years. I always wanted one. Hope the mist lifts soon. Winter ills are horrible.

    It would have been easy to just lie around and feel sorry for yourselves but I am sure the little splashes of colour helped you all to feel just a little bit better. Hope the sickness has passed now.
