I think one of the big reasons I am giving this so much consideration right now is because I live in WI. There are many days when outside is not an option during the winter. (we make up for it during the summer!
) Sickness, wind, frigid cold can all keep us in. Today the wind is almost 20 mph and although it is 16 degrees, windchill says it is 0. Not a good day for outside play. Also, several of us (me, included) have colds, and flu and other nice things are going around because it has been a very mild winter so far. In fact, I am loving this winter! But it is still winter in WI.
So these great ideas you are giving me will be put to good use!
Michael, I did look back several months and found a few good ideas, but not any threads that were specifically like this one. Perhaps I missed them? Or perhaps it just hasn't been discussed for a while. I know on these forums, some ideas keep coming round and get pretty boring after a while to anyone who has been here a long time, and I apologize for that.
Perhaps people could just point me towards some specific threads??
