This winter has been long. I know all winter's seem long to all of us, but they seem to get exponentially longer when you have children cooped up in your house for the duration of it. It is also heart breaking to listen to your 4 year old beg to go outside everyday and you have say no due to snow or freezing temperatures. So here are a few of our outdoor adventures this year, and also a few indoor activities that the girls have taken to this winter.
Playing dress-ups with friends. This is Sarah and Rachel on on of their many adventures to our house (and here's a huge THANK YOU to Elisa for taking them on adventures to her house as well!!).
We all fall down! Though I think it's hard to even get hurt in a pile up with all that fluff to buffer them.
Bath time! In the middle of the day! This has saved my bacon more than one time, and if bubbles are involved, it's even better. Tea parties in the bath tub are much more preferable to tea parties on the living room rug.
Veteran's Memorial Park is right around the corner from us, and so we frequent the walking paths and parks there, and usually end up stopping by the big gun to climb around.
This winter there was a huge windstorm one night, and two pine trees fell over in the park.
My girls have both learned not only to read, but enjoy the subtle humor of Calvin and Hobbes and Baby Blues. Yes, I know they are really young, but we have to start them off early in this competitive world. We're reading Moby Dick as a family as well, but the girls are struggling a little bit with some of the old world wordings.
Paints! And anything art project-ish. For Christmas they both got copious art supplies, and they have been so wonderful. No Van Gogh's yet, but it's early in their art career's yet.
