We are so bored

We have single digit temperatures here and snow on the ground. With the kids having already had RSV I am hesitant to get them out anyway and we are ALL going stir crazy. Today has been the most noticeable. Poor kids - they're just wondering around flopping themselves on the floor like little fish and sort of whining. I'm trying to be as creative as I can with entertainment. I've pulled the cushions off of the couch, built pillow forts, chased them around being the tickle monster... We're still bored. I LOVE the winter but for the first time in my life I am longing for Spring to come so we can play outside! Oh, Sam did invent the game of throwing every upstairs toy over the gate and down the stairs. Watching them bounce all the way down is great fun! The girls giggle about it too.

My life got a notch harder today. I was upstairs making a snack and I heard scary silence and a "tink tink" sound. I came down to find Sam on the table between the couch and chair - a table they have never been able to reach before. He was playing with the lamp on the table - batting at the pull strings like a cat. Julia is on the couch next to him and Sophie is trying to crawl up there too. OY. So now I have to find a place other than the back of the couch to store things I don't want them to have like remotes, mail, my laptop....

Here's the kids watching for Daddy to come home. How cute!

New fun - Daddy is a horse!

Sisters having fun...
