I'm not...

going to talk {complain} about the fact we've been stuck inside for 4 days due to large amounts of snow and heavy drifts, thus resulting in us all going a little stir crazy and loony.

BUT

I will share are the things we've been doing to keep ourselves busy.


Painting...lots of painting
{please forgive the messy kitchen/bathroom scene}
Also notice the colored jars, we had a great time doing a 'science experiment' with colors.
{Which ended with the boys bribing each other to drink it}


Reading books...lots of reading...

The boys got into my knitting bag and asked if they could make a spider web from my yarn.
{The end result}
Lots of holding this little one
{She clearly didn't mind}
"Please let me out mom."
"Sorry son, we're stuck!"
Even with all the activities we're all still going a little stir crazy....
But happy, thankful and blessed to be together...

Such a good attitude...I'm sure it's hard. I've become a bit hermit like in the recent days--seems like I am constantly finding more and more that needs done around this house, and the more I do, the more than needs done. I'm content to not leave--but I'm sure if I were stuck in, my attitude would be different! Hang in there...it has to warm up soon. Right?

Right?

We were going to go somewhere to play for the first time in I don't remember (sorry, I know you guys are more "stuck" since I've gotten the kids to Walmart at least) and then the boys got sick today.

Do the boys do well with water colors? I know we have some but I didn't know if Tristan would "get" it. We colored water with food coloring right before supper last night - Tristan loved it.

Something Sol might enjoy, I fill a bowl with dry beans (or buttons or anything) and give Tristan a spoon to transfer from one bowl to the other. It keeps him pretty busy for...you know, 15 minutes or so LOL Maybe your boys' focus is longer. :)
