Winter - I find it strips part of your inner soul, saps the vitamin D from your skin, turns you into a bit of a grump! On the other hand, it is great for curling up in front of a fire and sipping a red wine, making some soup, and having an excuse for not shaving your legs!
Our family despises the cold. We love to get outside every day and play at the park, on the beach, or just walk the streets. Our kids go closet crazy being stuck indoors for great lengths of times - there are only so many activities you can do to keep them entertained all day.
As soon as it is not raining and the sun is shining, we are out there exploring what the world has to offer. Otherwise..................we have been doing the following..............
Creating stories with the Shrek magnets
Reading at the benchHanging in the cot
Painting on the easel
Playing on the floor
Chilling out
Playing the "more Charlie" game
Kicking back in the rumpus room
Taking photo's of ourselves
Cuddling and kissing
Painting and drawing
More painting and drawing
More love and laughter
Baking cupcakes for a friends 30th Birthday
Meandering along the old tram tracks in Sorrento
Getting wind blown at the park
Playing with the trains
Playing with friends in the cubby at playgroup
Sliding down the ramp, instead of the slide!

So, when the weather is not at its best, you just have to use your imagination to have some fun!
Next week we are going to add to the arts and crafts box and make some creative gifts for people.
What kinds of things do you do in the Winter?
Your boys are so beautiful Nic, you are a wonderful mother! :)
