I love being snowed in! I know that some people despise being stuck in the
house during a heavy snow fall but I consider it an unplanned vacation! Still,
I must admit that after being stuck in the house for a few days with the
kiddies we all tend to get a touch of “cabin fever”. So what do you do after
you’ve had your fill of sleigh riding and snowball fights? Here are a few ideas
to make your unplanned vacation as enjoyable as possible.
Video
Extravaganza!
Just
about everybody owns a video camera these days but if you’re like me it’s
probably sitting on a shelf somewhere. Maybe this is a good time to dust it off
and put it to good use! If not chances are good that your cell phone will make
pretty good vides as well. One way to keep the little ones thawed out and not
dying of boredom is to let them make their very own home movie. Using their
imagination will keep them entertained for hours and when all’s said and done
you just might have a true YouTube original!
Board is better
than Bored!
There’s
no better time for Monopoly or Parcheesi (my favorite) than a snowy day. It’s a
great way to spend some quality family time and a little competition can
quickly while away the hours. Card games can also be fun and in the end you
just might create some wonderful family memories.
Baking, Eating
and More Eating!
What
could be more fun than baking your favorite cookies while being stuck in the
house? You can spend the entire day baking away and the entire evening
eating. If you have a fireplace and some
hot cocoa the trilogy is complete and you’ll have a “guilty” treat night that
you’ll never forget!
Enjoy an Indoor
Picnic
Think
that picnics are only fun on a warm spring day? Think again! All you need for a
wintery indoor picnic is a blanket and lots of goodies. Staying in your pajamas
is a relaxing touch and who doesn’t like to eat in their pajamas? This will be
a night that the kids will never forget!
When All Else
Fails……
If
there’s one thing everybody loves it’s watching their favorite TV programs,
right? Make a movie night for the whole family and be sure to pick something
that everybody enjoys watching together. Then it’s a simple matter of munchies
and relaxation. That’s a good way to spend an evening even if you’re not
stranded at home!
