When is all this snow going to go away?

The title is copied from my photo album on Facebook simply because that is what is on everyone's lips.

Snow! Snow! Snow!

I have been trapped inside with my son since Tuesday afternoon.  So what am I doing to keep my sanity?  I escape to my computer, while he destroys the house.  Actually I'm lucky to be withing walking distance of my in-laws.  And they were wonderful and let us stay with them.  I was able to pawn my son off on my mother-in-law and take a break.  But we did partake in fun snow day activities.

1. Drawing - My son is getting into the whole crayon/paper freestyling.  It's fun and I got to walk him through step-by-step a puppy how-to.

2. Hot Chocolate - Who doesn't want a great cup of hot chocolate on a snow day?  We had Stone Cold  Creamery hot chocolate.  It was the best I've had in a while. Delicious.

3. Board Games - I taught my son, mother-in-law, and husband how to play Candyland.  It was fun, but did test my patience.

4. Pictures - We took pictures of the snow through the windows and of my son being goofy.




Husband and father-in-law worked all day on clear the driveway and getting vehicles unstuck.  Success was partial seeing as how they got the vehicles freed but I am still home bound.



For a snow day it wasn't bad.  However I don't see us being freed anytime soon.

How do you keep kids entertained when you're trapped indoors?
