Winter time blues

They have officially set in.  Snow, cold, sicknesses, Yuck how I hate Winter in Wisconsin.

     So I have some kind of nasty Cold/sinus infection which doesn't bode well for trying to keep a 3 almost 4 yr old happy.  He has WAY too much energy for me right now, I love to play in the snow and that is usually one of our fun things to do but lately just getting up in the morning is a task.  I contemplated how too keep our house a little more active in the winter since extended time outside isn't always possible when it is 0 degrees plus a wind chill on top of it. 

     What did I do you ask?  I broke down and bought a Wii!  I know I hate the thoughts of keeping active through gaming but it really seemed to be the only way I could get my Hubby and son up off the couch.  We do play regular games and we do crafts and learning time, but very little physical movement on these cold blowing days.  Our house is small and doesn't give us alot of room to move so a Wii seemed like the logical answer.  So far my son likes to sword fight and Box which are two of the most physical games so at least he is moving.  As soon as I get feeling better we will be going back outside for at least1/2 hour a day to get fresh air but in the mean time this gives us some physical movement. 

   I can't wait for winter to be over!
