Happy Tuesday, sweet bloggy friends! We had a lovely weekend, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things this week. Why is it that
every week I feel like it's tough to get going?! It reminds me of how people always say 'how quickly Christmas came this year'... and I want to say, "Come on, people, it comes at the same time every year!". Such a hypocrite, I guess. This time of year is a bit annoying, I think. The thrill of snow has long gone away (for me and Trace, at least~ as you can see, the novelty hasn't worn off yet for the wee ones), and now I am just itching to get outside. Now that we're in a house and not an apartment I am longing to throw open the windows and let the littles run in the yard. I'm mentally planning our garden and what wonderful things we'll be able to dig up- Oh, the possibilies!
But back to this snowy February day... at this point we are running out of options... and our sanity!
So my question to you is this: What do you do? when boredom set in? when you have played every game and worked every puzzle (ten million times...)? I would love to hear some of your ideas for making these cold days easier! Leave a comment, and I just might sweeten the pot with a prize for my favorite!
Cute post here are a couple of our favorite "bored" day activities:
ReplyDeleteMy 2 boys chose the order:
1.) Inflate as many balloons as you can (I always keep tons of balloons on hand) and make a large play "pit" for the kids.
2.) Build a fort out of all the family room furniture, tops with blankets and stock with stuffed animals.
3.) Fill the bathtub and have boat races. (using homemade boats!)
:O)
Mandy-I am totally with you! My poor little guy just climbs up to the window sill and looks out every day.

Also, my sister uses this awesome learning site for activities for her 2 year old:

Hope February goes fast!

Snow paint outdoors is fun. For inside, I took some scrap fleece and tied it into a ball and we throw fleece snowballs at each other all over the house :) Just as Christmas sneaks up on you quickly, spring will be here before you know it too!
