Indoor Fun

Our sunny weather is gone and we've been looking for ways to have some indoor fun the last couple of weeks.  We've played with play-do, colored pictures, read stories, put together puzzles, refused to share toys, taken snacks away from each other, thrown tantrums, and. . . . . . well, you get the idea.  There's only so much fun a toddler and preschooler can have inside without driving each other, and their parents, completely crazy!  And so, our quest to go on indoor outings began  :)
One of our stops last week was the Jump Around Fun Zone, where Hannah could bounce off the walls (literally) and Michael could practice his walking .

 

We've also made some trips to the mall to use the indoor play area there.  Hannah has decided that her favorite game there is tag, which she now instigates with any little kid she meets.  Michael loves the slide, but prefers to climb up the front (a habit we discourage, much to his dismay). 

And now, a shot of Michael after being dressed up by Hannah  ;)  Because real men wear feather boas!

I have to apologize - - Most of you know that Michael has been pretty close to walking for a few months now, and we had every intention of announcing when he started walking. . . . . but it was such a process, that by the time I realized he was officially a "walker", he had actually been walking for almost a month!  After taking those first few steps, Michael decided that crawling was still the faster way to go.  It took a a few weeks of him walking "part-time", but now he seems to prefer it to crawling.
