As we go through this last stretch of winter, it is hard to not get bogged down in the monotony of being inside. We find ourselves looking out the window, yearning for those first signs of spring. Weekly play dates and music class help, but sometimes you just have to get a little creative with how to pass the time. Here are a few ways we have been accomplishing that:
Making pretzels...
Lucy loved this activity.
For any of you Auntie Ann lovers, these were from a kit I bought at the grocery store. They tasted surprisingly close to what you buy at their stores.

This isn't just any PB &J. It had the last of my Mom's homemade jelly on it.
But I couldn't help it, and she enjoyed the sandwich.
When it is too cold outside, how do you get your child some exercise?
Yes, that is Lucy. And yes, she is running on the treadmill. And no, this was not my idea. Only a father could come up with this.
She ran a third of a mile, at a #2 incline (Bri just had to make note of this)...and was still smiling at the end!
Not that I am recommending this, but she did sleep like a baby that night....hmmm, maybe he is on to something.
Hope you are all finding productive ways to pass the time!
