It's raining this morning and...These are good. It's raining this morning and I'm going to try the later nap thing with Cole, so I think I need some of these ideas! <br>I agree: #1 for us is getting outside. We live in a little town in the middle of nowhere...and I don't have a car. SO...getting "outside" is walking as far as I can with a happy baby in a stroller or baby bjorn (which is getting REALLY heavy.) I love to go to the park with him and show him the water (pond) and the ducks and try the baby slides. <br>#2. Music and dancing. It's a workout and Cole stares at me like I'm crazy. He loves when I pick him up and we dance together.<br>#3. If I try to put in an exercise video during the day, I always feel better. Last night both of us were dressed and ready for a run the second Brad walked in the door. Exercise is so rejuvinating.<br>#4. I love to flip throgh magazines and cut out anything I would use for a recipe or decorating or creative ideas. Cole loves tearing up the pages I won't use.<br>#5. Get in even just 20 minutes of a novel I'm reading.<br>#6. Read Milly Moo to Cole. His new favorite book. He loves it every time and will even let me read all of it before he races away.<br>#7. Bakinging is a good one...but I don't do it very often. If I ever am in the kitchen, Cole empties any drawer he can reach and plays with the whisks, wooden spoons, measuring cups, etc. All of the "dangerous" stuff is in the very top drawer.<br>#8. I need to start putting pictures in Cole's baby book. It's always on the list of activities I could do.<br>#9. I have a "to be filed" file and I love when it's finally empty again: all receipts and bills paid, etc. are back in their place in the closet.<br>#10. Naps. A nice nap during Cole's nap always helps me feel better.<br><br>I like the bath idea and Cole love when I chase him around in a crawling position and forts are always fun memories. These are good. Maybe I'll try to come up with an official list of age-appropriate activities that I haven't done before to switch things up for next time.kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08949053364898073438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094072069524784229.post-87460425681453974512007-03-08T02:11:00.000-08:002007-03-08T02:11:00.000-08:00I had one of these days yesterday. I think it was ...I had one of these days yesterday. I think it was adjusting from my vacation in Spain? What brightens my day...<br><br>definitely getting outside brightens mine and Izzy's day! This is number one. Going on a walk, discovering a new road/shops in London. One of my favorite things to do and I always feel better and so does my little outdoors girl.<br><br>Going to the parks, pushing Iz on the swing. <br><br>Eating chocolate, baking cookies or muffins (and eating them too)! :) Definitely a good activity for raining days.<br><br>Cleaning something - being productive and knocking things off my to do list.<br><br>turning on the music, taking Iz swimming, exercising with my new home dvds, re-arranging furniture or visualizing how I want a certain room to look. Organizing a space in the house.<br><br>Uploading photos I want to get printed and having them delivered.<br><br>Making and eating pizza.<br><br>Visiting teaching<br><br>Getting on all fours and chasing Iz around the house. She loves this "I'm going to get you game".<br><br>Fun post, Miss. I love that Devin built a fort. Oh and heading to Barnes and Nobel or the library is always positive! The card idea is adorable. Iz likes to chase the vacuum around, but I haven't tried her in the baby bjorn in ages. I don't think my back could take it!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18230826570810114209noreply@blogger.com
