Summer is over jpg  400×300

Yea, yea, yea…summer is just about over. The kids are heading back to school. The fall is near and we’re all getting back into the routine that’s better known as life.

The months of October through March bring cold weather here in the Northeast, which I’m totally fine with. What it also brings, however, is that caged rat feeling.

You know what I’m talking about. It’s finally the weekend, but the snow piles are about two feet deep. You’d take the kids out sledding, but you’ll get 10 minutes in and someone will be complaining they are cold.

This is when your creativity has to come into play. Busy out the Wii, XBox Kinect, iPad, board games, card games or just some plain paper and crayons. It is time to get creative and keep those kiddies occupied and having fun. Because, the minute they get bored, it’s the start of parental mayhem.

What do you do during the fall/winter months to keep the kiddies on the go?
