    One of the things I used to do is break out some blankets and a few chairs and made a tent out of them in the living room. Sometimes, I'd make popcorn and put in a movie for them to watch while they huddled in the tent. Or I'd make a tunnel out of the chairs and blankets and let them climb around inside and out.

    Another favorite toy of theirs was boxes!!! One year for Christmas, my husband wrapped a bunch of smallish boxes in orange paper that were the same size and made a "brick" wall in the hallway as a way to keep the boys in their rooms until we were ready to get up. Our boys loved those boxes to pieces.... literally! They kept them for a couple of years and would have a blast building walls to knock over or tracks for their cars.

  • my boys are driving me nuts too, I used all my best tricks at the beginning of winter, I can't wait till this snow melts and we can go outside. My son and I just played fallow the leader, tag and made a lil obsticle course and raced around the house. Only took 30 min and now he is wore out and watching bob the builder then off to bed.
