dishing the dirt, cleaning the chaos

If you live in the cold-weather-nether regions (like me) you've been stuck in the house with kids and pets for way too long. Vacations are over, everyone's exhausted and nobody can play another indoor time-killing game. Mix things up with 15 simple ideas for distracting, wasting time and having a little old fashioned fun.

Crank it up and have a dance party.
Eat breakfast for dinner.
Make ice cream sundaes and let the kids do all the work.
Get out the sheets, pillows and cushions- make a fort.
Watch old home videos or look at photo albums.
Paint a wall or room a happy, warm color- let the kids choose the color and help with the project.
Make a happy-songs-only imix for your friends and family members.
Host an indoor picnic, wear plaid.
Bake a cake, let the kids decorate it.
Act out a book, assign parts and make a set.
Play store...with paper bags, fake cash, cash box and a car made from an old box (how else will you drive to and from the store?)
Why not make a margarita for you, frozen fruit smoothies for the rest of the bunch!
Make a cute video for the grandparents, upload it on youtube and send it on over via the internet.
Watch a movie during dinner, popcorn is a sidedish.
Have a treasure hunt- get creative and stash money, tickets, gift certificates (you make them up- what are you willing to pay for :)), snacks, chore coupons and whatever else you can think of!
