Cabin Fever! How Do You Deal With The Cold Days

Now that the groundhog has seen his shadow and there will be a few more weeks of winter, it is time to get the most out of the nice days when they come along. My kids are a great example of this. They have really started having cabin fever since there was not enough snow to play in this winter and it was too cold otherwise, they were stuck in the house almost all winter! Now we have the occasional day of sun and my kids think it is summer!

Earlier this week it was around 50 degrees and my kids got their bikes out and played outside for over an hour and jumped on the trampoline (which is surprising because it got a little damaged during the last wind storm we had). Titus (8) even went out with Kylee (6) the next day and taught her how to ride her bike without training wheels! That would normally be my job, but they were so excited and looking for an excuse to go outside that they did it while I sat in the warm house and ate popcorn :)

Since the groundhog says we'll have to deal with a little more mild winter days, how do you deal with the cold days where all you can do is stay inside?
