Curing Cabin Fever

When you have snow like we did this past  February it is hard to get out and do things. You start to feel trapped and you SURE the snow will never go away. We call this cabin fever. The only real cure for it is spring but these are some of the ways we fight it.

We start our flats of garden vegetables in an indoor green house. There is nothing like some little green shoots to remind you that spring is coming.

We also like to bake. Warm cookies take the chill off of cold winter day. Abbi is the master of the peanut butter cookies.

Lastly we take a trip to the mall. The big kids shop and the little kid plays in the play place. This one is an enchanted forest.

Now to sail away in a boat until the spring thaw.
