The introductory post, lol

I Spose I should have done an intro as my first post, but being scatter-brained n all...:)
At any given point during the day, I'm doing a million different things...at the same time..so I'll be lucky to actually have some coherent posts!  I'm 38, might as well call it 40, gah! I have 5 AWESOME kids, ages 14,12, just about 7, 5, and a sweet four month old. My kids and my hubby are my entire life, they make me so happy. We're a homeschooling family, this is our second year, and I cant even explain how wonderful it is to watch my kids grow and thrive, and be happy, and pursue what THEY are interested in! Sooooo, this blog'll be about probably a million different things. I'm passionate about alot, and will probably write about everything that makes me..me!

Stir crazy???

So...as a homeschooling family, we pretty much have the freedom to persue any activities we please...no longer being bound to the public school schedule. :) That being said...We are going stir crazy!!!!! There has been a major snowfall every week since Christmas! And cold... this morning it was -7!! It is such a major ordeal to get the little ones bundled up, then me and the baby..by the time we're ready for outside, everyone's sweating, and ready to come in again, lol. Then once we're out there comes the famous words.."I hafta pee!!" So mostly we've been hangin inside. There are so many activities we'd like to do, but most involve going out to purchase something. I need some ideas on fun things to do with 5 kids from things you'd ordinarily have on hand!
