Winter Fun

So this past week was FREEZING! So the kids and I were pretty much home-bound since I didn't think it was a good idea to take the kids out when it's -40 degrees out. Needless to say, the days get very very long for mom and both kids when we don't get to do our normal playdates, school, etc. I had to get creative! On Thursday (after a couple days of being home-bound), we got out a playdoh factory that we got for Xmas and the kids LOVED it! After Lauren figured out it didn't taste good, she had fun with it. And Alex loved making different shapes and different designs. Then later that afternoon, the kids went "swimming" in the bathtub complete with swimsuits and lots of bubbles. They thought it was so neat! They were in there for 40 minutes and even then, I practically had to drag them out. They were laughing and laughing! So, we survived the week and did a few fun indoor activities out of the norm - we actually had a really good time hunkering down inside!
