Surviving Sub-zero Temps.

 It sounds like this cold weather is going to last a while, so I thought I would look for a few fun ideas to keep the kids (and myself) occupied for the next week.  I thought I'd share!  Here are some links I found with some great (amid some not so great) ideas.

Here are a few ideas we've tried:

Learn some Native American sign language, and dress up





Let the kids decorate cupcakes

Have a puppet show

Have a tea party and invite some furry friends

Let the kids do something fun with the baby.  Here's a shopper ready for the mall.

She's pretty excited about shopping!

Let dad lay down on the couch and watch the romping begin.
 Have a wonderful time surviving the cold! :)
