Winter Doldrums

November17

I’ve been worried about how to deal with 2 active kiddos this winter. We aren’t as house bound as we would be up north but it is still cold and wet a lot of the time. On a local buy/sell/trade page on facebook, I found the answer.

Meet our new indoor trampoline.  The girls have been jumping on it all afternoon. I know it will eventually lose its shiny new status, but for now it is a great way for them to expend some of that excess energy.

It is awfully large so it is going to have to move up to the playroom soon.

    Great idea to keep them busy. I’d put it away every few weeks and then take it out again a few weeks later to keep it’s shiny new status. Hopefully they’ll be excited to see when you bring it out again throughout the winter.
