Well...the weather around here is not improving.
This is the view out my front door. The street is in there somewhere.
Almost all schools are closing & sending kids home early. The weatherman is saying 8 inches by tonight & maybe 14+ by morning with bad winds. So... I am brainstorming during my boy's nap of ways I will entertain them from 2:00ish until 7:00ish when their Daddy usually get home. No, change that, with the snow it will be more like 8:00 when Daddy gets home.

And of course there is...Singing, dancing, piano playing
Chasing up stairs
Coloring with crayons
Bath time

My last ditch plan I picked up at the store this morning for $1...
The chocolate is for me and the sticks are for them {grin}

What do you do with your children when you are snowed in?

I prefer the more traditional method of "sticking in a DVD." Although your boys are little and I wasn't as big into DVDs then. Now, though, you can bet that when we heard the storm was coming we stocked up. ;)
Sometime during a snow storm, inevitably a big blanket is spread out in the living room, a fun movie is put in, and snacks are served...endless snacks. When the boys were little, they would never sit still for a movie, but they'd rally around forever if food was involved!
We also migrate from room to room--it's like a whole new world when you're cooped up!
