I've decided, or rather I've known for awhile but want to reiterate, that winter afternoons are
the worst! Normally when the boys wake up from their afternoon naps we'll head outside,
go for a walk, go for a park, play in the backyard...anything to keep busy. But when winter
rolls around, all of those options are gone for the most part. The mornings are fine because
the boys have school and we're already out and about. It's just the long afternoons between
when the kids wake up and dinner time that seem to drag on.
Thankfully between Christmas and Owen's birthday we've had received some fun things to
occupy our time. Yesterday's activity of choice...kinetic sand. It even glows!
The boys loved it and it kept them busy for a considerable amount of time. Woo!!
Surprisingly it is also relatively easy to clean up, which is a huge plus. We already had it out
again today and I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of cold winter afternoons making
sand castles, digging up dinosaurs, and making construction sites with our new magic sand.
