I can tell we're going to love having the basement this winter! We'll have 6 months or so of a large space to play. Fall has arrived and instead of going outside this morning (because it takes until afternoon to get into the 60's lately) I made Nicholas and Celia an obstacle course in the basement to try to get some energy out. I remember elementary gym class having an obstacle course to go through and thinking it was so much fun. I think it helped burn some energy and its great large muscle movement.
The obstacle course was:
1. crawl across 3 chairs
2. jump on the trampoline 10 times
3. crawl across a bean bag, blanket and pillows
4. crawl through a tunnel
5. rock on your belly on the rocking ottoman chair
Right now they are painting paper pumpkins for some Fall decoration in the house here at the kitchen table. :) I'm sort of missing being a teacher lately (maybe with school starting)... but there is nothing better than being a teacher to your own kids.
We grow so fast. . .
