Things you do when you are in the house for 2 weeks.

Go sledding with friends. This is an area in our subdivision behind our friend's house. It's a perfect spot for sledding.
Here is Collin riding down a saucer.

And then being slightly dramatic about how hard it was to drag the sleds back up to the top of the hill. Matt did say it was tough. Jackson and I got to stay at home since he was not allowed to be around other kiddos yet.

You can also let your kids switch rooms. When we first moved in to this house, I thought this room would be the nursery, Collin and Katie shared a room and then we had a guest room. Then it was Katie's room, and Jackson and Collin had their own separate rooms. Now it's Collin's room, Jackson has stayed put and Katie is in the former guest/Collin back bedroom. This room is so much better for bunk beds. We kept worrying that Collin would get his head clipped by his ceiling fan when he sat up in his bunk bed (in his old room). Now he has lots of space.

Katie's room: already a mess since she dragged out every Little People set we owned and set up a Little People town in the middle of her floor.
