Once we all got past the fact the Polar Vortex was a short-lived icy experience, we were still left with winter.
Blah blah blah blergh blargh.
Winter.
I just want to put on a tank top and flip flops and run around blowing bubbles and playing tree tag until the only light to keep us safe is that of the lightning bugs.
I want the lingering scent of sun screen and chlorine after bath time, the scraped knees and band-aids and dirt stains, the cook outs and tiki torches and iced tea and lemonade stands--I even want the bug spray.
Sad reality: that's a long way off.
I'm out of ideas...I've finger-painted, movie-watched, fort-built, dance-partied, libary-visited, indoor-bowled in the basement, play-dough scraped, and sanitized our way through every indoor play outfitter in the tri-state area including Chick-Fil-A.
And it's only the third week in January!
Help--what are you other parents doing to keep your kids entertained and yourself sane? Anyone else out there feel like they've never wanted summer so bad in their life?!
