We have been stuck in the house for most of the last week because of the frigid Minnesota temperatures and nasty weather. The days do tend to get long and we find ourselves going stir crazy. With three kids, being stuck in the house for a week borders on insanity.
We do puzzles, play games, and watch movies. Not to mention everything else that you can think of to do while stuck indoors.
The kids got new sunglasses and they have been wearing them non-stop ever since. The suckers were for successfully going potty on the toilet that day. The twins are finally potty trained and have very few accidents which is wonderful for me since it was tough going there for a while with two kids making messes in their undies every day..multiple times a day!
I recently came across our magnetic fridge phonic's from Leap Frog and decided to put it on our front door. Our refrigerator is stainless steel
so nothing sticks to it. Bennett spends a lot of time each day singing "A" says "Ah" every letter makes a sound, "A" says "Ah". It is fun to watch him learn.
Our neighbor introduced me to a wonderful website called Starfall. Avery spends time on that site each day learning letter combinations and sounds in hopes to learn to read. She really enjoys the exercises and begs for my computer.
Bria loves reading. She always wants to read stories and do crafts. So, I can usually find ways
to entertain them....and when all else fails, there is the bouncy house!!! While it is a pain to set up in our basement, the kids truly have a blast and work out some major wiggles by jumping.
