Beat those winter blues!


When winter forces us inside due to freezing temps, sicknesses, snow storms, and a mother who just wants to stay cozy inside, circumstance forces me to use more creativity to keep three children entertained. By 10:00 am, computer and t.v. time is usually used up and I twiddle my fingers and wonder what new exciting activity to engage the kids in. This video shows what we did yesterday and how thrilled Jace was with the activity of pudding painting. Everyone ended up happy in the end as we slurped the pudding. Mind you, it's a terrible video of me...bad hair day, no make up, and bad camera angle (my eyes really are not that baggy or the chin that doubled, or maybe it is!) But I thought it was funny. The other video is what happens when the kids are bored. I have bruises from karate chops to my legs!

So I am calling on all peeps reading this post to give any fun ideas that kids can do indoors! Or if you know of websites that offer fun ideas, I'm open to anything. I want to make it a part of my front page for the winter so people can check it out on my blog . Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!
