Hey there, fellow parents! If you’re stuck at home during a storm, you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed—trust me, I get it! The other day, it was barely halfway through nap time, and I was already feeling the itch to pull my hair out. So far in our household, we’ve whipped up some hearty chicken chili, had an epic train play session, read what feels like a hundred books, navigated a few tantrums, and endured a couple of “time-outs.” Let’s just say there’s a lot of pent-up energy in our cozy little space!
We’ve secured the windows, made a last-minute run for essentials like batteries and snacks, and now we’re hunkering down for what might be a long haul. I’ve been curious about what other families are doing to keep busy and prepare for the worst during this storm. Here’s a glimpse of what some parents are up to:
- “After naps, we’re going to carve a pumpkin.” — Jamie
- “Baking, watching cartoons, and painting pumpkins!” — Kelly
- “We’ve got crafts, floor hockey, puzzles, and video games lined up. And it’s only been half a day! I’m wiped out.” — Sam
- “We bathed the kids ahead of time, just in case we lose power and can’t do it later. I’ve also stocked the fridge with containers of water and pulled out all the board games. Now, I’m just trying to keep the kids from playing with the flashlights and draining the batteries!” — Mia
- “We did mess-free finger painting, puzzles, and played on the Wii. I’m feeling pretty drained too!” — Alex
