glisharaHi, all!
So, this winter is possibly going to kill us all.
With snow and ice storms 1-2 times a week, and temperatures in the single digits before windchill, we have been trapped indoors almost constantly, and the kids are doing their best to drive us batshit insane before we see the first crocuses.
So, does anyone have suggestions for fun indoor burn-some-energy activities we can do with the kids? I will share some of my tasks, for those of you who may be in the same situation.
1. Cooking! A favorite. We make cupcakes, brownies, cinnamon rolls, bread, cookies, or meals, all with kid-help. Flaw: limited a bit by how much you can eat.
2. Art projects. We do coloring with markers, crayons, and glitter glue, and have fun with foam stickers. Downside: Lorrie likes to try to eat the stickers, and it does not actually burn much energy.
3. Hide and seek. Downside: burns as much of my energy as the kids'.
4. Cleaning! Wesley likes using a feather duster and a mop. I cheerfully exploit. Downside: can't overuse this one, or he gets cranky. I cannot blame him.
Anyone have other suggestions?
