    Dream - I had to grin at your description. That is funny. I am sure it wasn't funny for you though. Yikes

    How old are the kids?

    It was a snow day here and there was lots of new fallen snow but no wind so I took the gang out for an hour in front of the house and gave them the red toy snow shovels from Dollarama, some beach shovels that we use during summer, and a toboggan and let them go wild. They love those Dollarama kid snow shovels. I had a hard time wrestling everyone back in because MY feet were feeling frozen. lol I had a 3, 5, 7 and 1 year old out. I guess it makes a difference if it is windy.

    I can't believe they would say they are bored though. I swear now that kids just have TV, video games, leappads, etc they need to remember that they have an imagination and how to play and make 'games' up in their minds

    . Was pretty comical to me too. Yes, I so should have thought ahead (husband left with keys to our garage...sleds, toys etc. in there)... but cups and bowls would have worked too. The 6 & 3 year-old are my P.A. Day kids (3 year old is in a full time head start program), other than that they are 14 months, 18 months, 3@ 2 yrs old and 4. It was pretty windy today; that didn't help things. Can't wait until spring...then it's just open the door and go...they're much happier then
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.
