Cabin Fever...

So... What do you do when it's BELOW FREEZING outside??!!  We have found some fun things to do, but are starting to get a little cabin fever.  I even walked the kids to the park the other day because it was a "warm" day of 40 degrees.   That is something I never thought I would say.  

In December Jeremy took Kylee to a West High School boys basketball game.  Since we have also been as a family to a University of Iowa girls gymnastics meet.  It was really fun!  

We go to the Children's Museum A LOT!  The kids love all the different rooms and could play there for hours.

We also have a lot of lazy movie days :)  I think the kids were both sick in this picture.  

We went to another fun cooking class at Hy-Vee, our local grocery store.  This time the kids learned about 10 new citrus fruits.  They got to try all of them and draw either a smily face or a frowny face, depending on if they liked the taste or not.  Then they got to go in the back and see how fresh squeezed orange juice is made and got to try some!

Austin loves hanging out with his best bud Curtis.  Here there are in their matching Iowa shirts!  Curtis is about 9 months older than Austin.

And yes, there is even dress up going on.  I only put the dress on Austin when he asks me to.  Not a big deal.  They have fun playing with each other.

This is my favorite.  The kids pretend like they are going on a trip and will actually pack up the car and pick a destination.  Sometimes it's Curtis' house, sometimes it's California.  Kylee will sit on the back and Austin will actually scoot the car forward.  They crack me up!

Then there is always bath time.   They have so much fun when I let them put bubbles in and actually play.

Kylee is in a pre-school co-op and we host once a month.  She loves when the kids come to our house. Today we played with streamers, ran in circles to let out energy, painted alphabet pictures and practiced balancing with hop scotch.  I'm pretty sure it was 10 degrees today.

Spring, you cannot come soon enough!!!
