We've been trying to stay busy on the weekends as a means of avoiding "cabin fever." The last couple weekends we've visited the YMCA to swim and run around in the gym. The girls love the water and they even try to swim by kicking their legs and moving their arms. Other things we've been doing to keep busy include playing in the snow, going out to eat (that can be a little challenging with three 17 month olds:), doing arts and crafts such as edible playdoh and coloring, and going to basketball games.

In the locker room getting ready to swim...Briella (right) wasn't mad, she was just asking "Daddy go?" She always wrinkles up her face and talks with her hands when she asks a question. Aliya (middle) fell down while sledding the previous day, so that explains her bruised cheek.
