I love it when winter comes around. The cool, crisp air, the snow flurries. I especially love the scarves, gloves, hats and boots. So far, this is not as much fun as it has been in years past though. We have had a lot of wet, rainy cold weather which leaves all of us stuck in the house.
November was not such a problem for me because it was National Novel Writing Month time. Nanowrimowrymo, as bill calls it. I spent all of November writing my novel, and yes, it came easier this year than it did the year before. I was surprised at how well my characters came alive once I started writing. All I can say is, if you didn't try and write something this year, you should try next year. It is a really, really great challenge, and so much fun!
Now that December has hit, I am officially stir crazy, and so are the kids. I want to get out and do something active. There is always the mall, but it has been extra crazy there since everyone and their mother is shopping. I can go to the library, but that is not active. I need suggestions of places that are not too costly,that we can go play, and exert some energy. Any ideas?
ice skating rink!
ReplyDeleteJungle Java? I know it costs, but other than McDonald's, I am not sure what else there is, other than open swim at the Costick Center, which also costs money.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind it costing SOME money, but I need something we can do regularly to get out. :) A few other people suggested: dance parties, family yoga, and stuff like that which I can do at home for free!
ReplyDeleteDid you see today's Groupon (67% discount at a place called "Pump It Up")? I don't know if that's something along the lines of what you were thinking, but you have 6 hours left to get it if you want it! :)
