Oh What Do You Do In the Winter Time???

What do you do in the winter time... when all the world is cold, covered in snow, and did I mention cold, really cold? Well this is what we like to do...

The boys have really been missing swimming in a swimming pool ...
so ....

That's right, we put them in a tub full of water with their life jackets on. That is almost the same as swimming and the water was much warmer.

Not to be left out, Benjamin was missing splashing with his daddy... so...

Yep, we put Jeff and Benjamin in a tub together and let Ben pour water on Daddy's head. He has so much fun!!! Jeff on the other hand was quite scrunched up in out tiny little tub!

The boys have been missing outside exercise... so...

We signed them up for a gymnastics class. This is them practicing some of their balancing.

We have actually found lots of fun things to do that don't have pictures to go with them. Jeffrey went outside and shoveled the snow off our deck, probably onto our downstair's neighbors patio furniture. We have played lots of games. Built too many to count forts (out of everything we own), and even started our own band. I will have to catch that on the camera! Winter does have the perk of adding lots of quality family time!

So, there's no picture of all four boys in the tub, but did they try that? Jeff is a good sport to get in there with Ben (and to have his picture taken!).

The gymnastics class sounds like such a great thing for wintertime!

It was so fun to see these pictures. We too often wonder what to do in the winter time. Our snow, though, is melting fast ... for which we are grateful. Thank you for your post!

Love,
