What's up!?

So it's supposed to be Spring.

Right.

It's 29 degrees out and slightly snowing.

I feel like I have had to get really creative to keep my outdoors loving son entertained all day ( and me too!)

Sure we go to the mall. Ethan loves the mall. They have an awesome play place and two Starbucks. Holla. But it's also temptation central. Even if I don't need anything I end up spending money.

We love the community indoor pool but it's a lot of work. Like clear out our whole morning - work. Bring him in his pj's and put him back in them when we leave because its immediately nap-time- work.

So I made a list. Because its what I do. I make lists.

It's a list of stuff for us to do when it's too chilly bones to go outdoors.

• Paint some pots for our future gardening. I found the idea on Small Fry Blog. ( go check it out now... I am obsessed with this blog) www.smallfryblog.com

• Bake something together.

•Color

•Make Castles out of playdoh and smash them.

• Have a picnic in the living room

•Paint with shaving cream in the bathtub

•Color on the chalk wall

•Bring our iPad to Starbucks and watch a show and drink some fun drinks

• Sports in the basement

•Build Forts

•Have friends over

•Finger Paint on a huge sheet of paper in the garage.

And my personal favorite. Target. Although that's the most expensive by far.
