Just wondering, because I sure am!! Any good ideas how to keep little ones (3 & almost 2) entertained when it's too cold to leave the house??

We must not live too terribly far apart! I just posted almost the same thing! LOL I feel your pain (here in Calgary!) I blogged about it this afternoon.

How do we stay sane... hmmm.... we play a lot of Wii (now that we have one), watch movies, drink lots of tea and hot cocoa, I start reading more books aloud for longer times and we have a huge cardboard box that the children have made into a clubhouse that they are spending a lot of time in. They draw a lot. It's this time of year that the creativity is forced out of them!

Whereabouts are you?

visit my blog for ideas on a few things to do with your little ones, if you want to. :-)

Sending warm hugs!

We live in SK. Today it was 5 above Celsius. It was a heat wave. Tomorrow, though, the temps will go down. They are calling for a blizzard and temps of 42 below.

Yes, I am very tired of winter. I have had enough of the frigid cold temps. We have had three snow storms in the past week and a half. I am ready to see some green.

During the winter we play lots of games, read books and drink hot chocolate with marshmallows.

It'll be about the same situation here. :eek:

I am usually ready for spring somewhere around the middle of November. I'm not a winter person, but I do have my own special ways of dealing with it. ;)

Well I have been complaining about the weather here but after seeing what you all are dealing with, I think I will stick with a couple more month of a GA winter. :eek: -55! That's insane.

Oh and just to make you feel even more sorry for us up here... -55 Celsius is equal to -67 Fahrenheit. :eek:
