Since Gavin is still on break from school, we have had a few super cold days (which means just short periods outside a couple times a day), and we have mostly avoided public germ situations after Dane being sick, we have gotten creative (thank you Pinterest) and found new ways to get energy out while inside. We have gone through our normal games, crafts, and energy users but we needed some new ones to get excited about. They have enjoyed jumping and crashing into their new bean bags and we keep finding fun new ways to enjoy them aside from just being a comfortable seat.
We had a big box they have been playing with and I came across an idea to turn stairs into a side. Well, it is a hit. They are having fun taking turns, going together, crashing, racing cars and trucks, and just being crazy. A great use of something that otherwise would have just gone to the recycyle can. I have lots of days I feel uninspired, boring, and like we don't do enough fun silly stuff together, so having lots of days the last two weeks where we found new great ways for fun has been awesome. Plus, it makes us all get along better. I'm more patient and they have more (and longer) periods if getting along. Lots of fun all around!
