Trying To Stay Entertained

With the freezing cold weather we've been having I haven't been able to take my kids outside unless I need to run to the store. It has been a little hard because I feel very cabin feverish, but we've been able to stay pretty entertained. The kids are entertaining each other pretty well these days so that is really nice for me. For example they've spent a good amount of the last couple days playing with one sheet of stickers...

I also let David watch the Polar Express for the first time. Intense part!


After the train is safe again...

We've also had plenty of time for art, puzzles, reading stories, and building forts. In the summer time we spend a lot of time out side so we don't always get to each of these things every day. Everything has it's season right? Anyway, I am really looking forward to Scott being done with this semester and having a nice relaxing Christmas. We are staying in Rexburg this year and so this will be the first time for me not spending at least part of Christmas with my family. I've already been sad for a long time thinking about it, but at the same time I am looking forward to seeing most of Scott's family and not traveling(driving) or living out of a suit case with 2 young kids for 2 weeks. And now that we have our kids and David is starting to understand and be excited, it will be fun to have our own Christmas. At least until after we're done opening presents and then we'll be off to see Scott's family! Ok wow, I just realized I am just totally babbling and probably not making any sense. Anyway...I'm looking forward to this Christmas even though it will be different then what we've done before!

I feel the same way. Wish we were there so our kids could play and we could visit like we did last winter. At least our younger kids are old enough now to play with our older ones huh?

It's amazing how the smallest things can entertain kids for the longest time (such as the stickers). Hazel's new favorite "toy" is a little cardboard box. She LOVES pushing that thing all over the apartment. It definitely keeps her entertained, and it keeps us entertained just watching her! lol

I hope that you enjoy your Christmas even though it'll be different. As long as you're with your hubby and kids, though, that's all that really matters. =D

Hope the pregnancy is going well!
