    No outside play guilt

    Woke up to a beautiful front yard of fresh, fluffy snow!
    I had great intentions of playing with the kiddos outside but as it sometimes does, I realize its not going to happen.
    I am 38 weeks pregnant with my #3, and I have 4 daycare kids in addition to my own 2 and 3 yr old. youngest daycare kid is 18 months.
    Just the thought of bundling them all up, carrying the little ones down our somewhat steep front stairs (8 steps), and playing with them on our snow hills. (carrying x child up, pulling x child in sled, picking little one who constantly is tipping over in snowsuit). I have visions of me going into labour from all the physical activity!! Hahaha!

    Do you think this is an acceptable 'excuse' for keeping the kids indoors? We do lots of active things inside as well! Today we took all the cushions off the couches and they played hopscotch and follow the leader thru an obstacle course under tables etc. They had a great time doing this. Also doing a lot of education activities as 4 of them start kindergarten in the fall.
