Riding our family horsie. :)
Since we don't have boys we don't have one of those "official" rugs that has streets and buildings all over it, so we kind of make our own. I take painter's tape and lay out roads and buildings on our kitchen floor, then the girls take the cars and drive around on the roads. They usually pretend that the buildings are restrooms...you can tell we stop at quite a few while we are traveling in the car can't you !?!
This is a funny game that some how started at our home. It is called Beans N' Rice. One of my girls will tell their dad to catch their Beans N' Rice and then take off running. When my hubby catches them he wraps them up in a "tortilla" which is actually a blanket (Aren't these blankets adorable? My mom made one for each of her grandkids to play with...ours get lots of use.) After the Beans N' Rice are wrapped in a tortilla my hubby puts them in the "fridge" which is actually the couch. Somehow the Beans N' Rice always wiggle free and take off running to start the whole game over again. This sounds quite odd, but my girls love it.
We also play lots of board and card games, hide and seek, tag, play dough, read stories, watch movies, and do all kinds of art projects to keep us busy when it is cold outside. What about you? What fun things do you to with your kids to keep them entertained when the weather is cold?
How cute!!! "D" looks like he's having so much fun playing horsie. What a good Daddy! You always have the cutest ideas for having fun with your kids! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Oh, and I help tie those quilts. Keep up the good work. Love y'all.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute kiddos. We play a similar game, but call it "pigs in a blanket." :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you find fun at your house all of the time!
ReplyDeleteFun at my house usually consists of mommy collapsing on the couch in a sleeping stupor, while Cam plays cars on the other couch...making up imaginary conversations the whole time. I'm so boring...Love the beans and rice game tho! Sounds like something my BOYS would love! :)
so cute! we call that getting "burrito'd."
ReplyDeletewe do a LOT of baking. mostly because i can't think of anything else to do with 2 year olds.
What great pics. I have a hard time keeping my kids entertained on those cold, wet days. We play alot of card games and board games as well as puzzles. We also try to do some reading.
ReplyDeleteI think "beans n rice" is a great addition to any family fun! Those blankets are amazing! Lucky ducks. ;) My kids love making "tents" in our house with the extra sheets and blankets. That is good for atleast a couple of hours, especially if they each have a flashlight! Oh, when they get tired of the regular paper for coloring, I pull out the butcher paper and make a long sheet that every can color on and tape it to the floor. This can also be turned into hopscotch by just drawing on some squares.
ReplyDeleteWe play horsie all the time. My kids LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love to cook, color, do art projects, build "tents", watch movies, read, and try to be creative and think of fun games.
You always have great ideas.
My kids like to use all the different building toys lincoln logs, legos,tinker toys,marbleworks,wooden blocks, couch pillows and anything else to build amazing villages,forests and little camp grounds and go deep sea fishing off the bunk beds but their all time favorite was the tons of dress up clothes they used these for years for Halloween, school projects, and esp rainy days they love those memories and all the pictures we took andso do I..
