Well, after you get over the fact that this isn't some practical joke and the snow outside is real, you do all the things inside that you are dying to do outside:) Like...
Camping
Complete with roasting marshmallows
Creating a finger painting mess that would be better suited for the outdoors.
This was Van's first time finger painting and he wasn't a fan- he takes after his dad and doesn't like the mess.
Weston, on the other hand, the messier, the better:)
Giant bubble blowing
Which turned out to be a great way to shampoo our carpets- look at all that soap and water from one bubble popping!
And finally, because the affects of cabin fever haven't had a chance to wear off, you create a dish stacking competition with your spouse. (This also happens to be a good way to ease the pain of not having a dishwasher for two years and not seeing the prospect of one coming anytime in the near future.) Mike is currently in the lead with this stack of 24 3/4 inches high.
Now, it would be misleading to not mention that the weather hasn't been all bad this month. We did get some opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. In fact, I think Weston was so excited to finally get to go to the park that he didn't mind (for the entire walk to and from the park) that his shoes were on the wrong feet:)
And this is also the same boy who throws a fit if his shoes are just slightly too tight and, therefore, uncomfortable!
Great post! That weather is crazy...oh the midwest...All of the outdoor activities inside were very creative. I liked the campfire and the bubbles. The dish stack was also very impressive.
