[quote=Anonymous]I'm a big "it's not too cold, you're just not wearing enough clothes!" person, but even I start to get tired of it by February. I can feel my kids starting to tire of it to. It's just not as fun to play on the playground and go for walks all bundled up when it's 20 degrees outside, especially when it's been cold for two months. Plus, we're walking to and from school every day, so by the weekends, we're a bit tapped on walking around outside.

Honestly, we do hit those indoor play places at this time of year. We live in Columbia Heights, so we're close to Magic Ground above the Target there. We went one day this weekend, and we'll probably go 2 more times in February. We hadn't been since... last February, ha. We'll probably do the Children's Museum one day even though it's pricey. Those are two things we would never do outside of late Jan/Feb.

We'll hit all the best museums for kids (Natural History, Museum of the American Indian). There's also been a lot more indoor roughhousing/couch jumping/running from room to room, and I'm fine with that as long as they're being somewhat careful and not too loud. Yesterday, I just let them both jump on my bed for 15 mins.

Kids are 3 and 5. [/quote]
