Now that the temps are really staying pretty cold and the days continue to be short, we are constantly looking for indoor entertainment. Our new house has a wood burning fireplace, so shortly after new year's we fired it up and roasted marshmallows and the kids had their first experience with s'mores! Needless to say, they were a huge hit! Can't wait to do this again-we all had a blast!

Post holidays, it has actually been quite nice to have a little break from the constant plans and things to do. Some of these weekends, though, we have really had to be creative to prevent from lounging in front of the TV all day, which can also be easy to do.
The day that Dalton was supposed to start back to school after an almost 3 week holiday break, schools were actually cancelled. There was no snow, but temperatures dropped down to 5 degrees, which apparently was an all new low in the state and the school system was not prepared for possible heating and pipe problems. The day before, pipes burst at their day care so needless to say we were happy to just stay home for an extra day! On this day, we entertained ourselves with a variety of things, including making snowflakes,
tea parties,
more art,
playing dress up,
and cooking in the kitchen!
As fun as all the holiday stuff is, I think this is the stuff that I will always remember and treasure...just regular days with my favorite little people!
Happy new year! Wishing everyone all the best in 2014.
