Today, we got another snowstorm and are stranded in the house for yet another day. I'm still recovering from the surgery so trying to find some fun things to do with a 4 & 5 year old can sometimes be difficult. However, today, I think we had a pretty creative day and thought I would share what we did so that if there are any other home-bound days we can still have fun.
1. Sent the kids out in the snow in the backyard and watched them sled down a very very small hill from the warm comforts of my kitchen.
2. I had picked up some little statues from Michael's so we spent about an hour painting them today
3. A nice warm bath with toys that we hardly ever play with
4. A family movie, cuddle time
5. Playing Wii
6. Coloring
7. Playing with toys that had been stowed away for days just like this
8. Putting on a puppet show
Considering the kids were up at 5:30am and it is now almost 5:00pm and they have only watched a few hours of TV, I feel like today was a success...but, man, am I tired!!!
This is a blog that details the trials and tribulations of raising two young children while dealing with a chronic illness.
