Cabin Fever

Yep that's right, I already have cabin fever and it's only early November. The weather has been awesome since July and these first temps below 50 degrees are driving me nuts. Not to mention this past weekend was daylight savings time and it's already getting dark at 4pm.

I'm really not transitioning into winter well at all.

Luckily I have a husband who is on the same page as me when it comes to outside time for our children. We both believe that outside time is so important and that we should try to do it no matter what the weather is even if it's for a few minuets. Here's a picture from outside time this afternoon. Yep Josh is wearing shorts, he does not seem to have a problem with the cooler temps.

With the sun going down earlier Piper's playroom has become our go to spot in our house. She's really been into inventing "games". We are not always 100% sure how to play her games but we always give it our best shot.  She's invented the nigh-night game, the catch you game, and tonight she invented the mark set game. She and Josh raced back and forth across the basement floor. When Josh got tired she continued to play the mark set game on her own until bath time.
It's going to be an interesting winter this year with a new baby on it's way and an extremely active toddler. It will be interesting to see what kind of boredom busters we come up with to get us through the next few months.
