Good Morning Everyone! How is everyone holding up in this deep freeze across the nation? My poor body is aching and hurting thanks to this severe cold weather. Today, I can barely move!
Today’s Topic: Many kids (and adults too!) are off again today thanks to the very cold temperatures, ice and/or snow. When the kids are off, how do you keep them occupied so they don’t get bored? When you are off for a snow day, how do you occupy yourself to beat the boredom of being cooped up inside? Let’s hear your ideas!
For myself…I love to bake and don’t get a lot of time to do it. One snow days I like to get into my kitchen and bake up some bread, cookies, cupcakes, pies, or even make a big pan of homemade fudge. When the Princess is around I get out a special box that has arts & craft supplies in it, 3 DVDs, a few travel-size games, etc. So, that box of goodies will occupy her all day long since she ONLY sees it during bad weather days. It is a “treat” for her!
(Snow Day Activities – Boredom Busters!) I always have a bunch of things that I need to get done here around the house. I could really never get bored, it’s just trying to get up the energy to get them all done.
Congratulations to the 2 winners.
There is no snow, but it still was bitterly cold yesterday. Today it is slightly warmer – into the 20’s – and feels balmy in contrast! I think it is a great idea to have a box of items only for bad weather for the kids. I wish I had thought of that years ago. I like to bake, read or use the computer on bad weather days.
It’s not snowing here but it is sooo cold and I am sick and tired of it honestly! I find it so hard to get motivated to do anything when it is this cold. No matter how much the heat runs, there still seems to be a chill in the air.
I am so tired of this cold weather. Cannot wait for my puffy vest to keep me warm doing outdoor chores. Today I am keeping myself busy going through all the sock doors and weeding out the singles and holy ones. We had one a new dresser about a week or two ago and now all our dressers and contents are being moved around. Hopefully by the end of the day the closets will be organized. So far, it looks like I made everything worse 🙁
I think that the cold weather does make a person have more pain with their arthritis. It is cold and snowy outside. I can not wait for warmer weather. I like that you make a lot of yummy things when it is cold out. I need to do this.
i wish we had snow here in arizona! i can only imagine all the fun things we could do 🙁 i hate how hot it is here !
