Moms Talk Q & A: What to do With the Kids When it Rains

It's been rainy and gray for days and sending the kids to play outside in the soggy cold is not an option. Who's needs a house a full of runny noses? 

Now that all of your children's fun-time energy is contained within the walls of your house—what will you do to keep them from bouncing off them.

Moms, other moms need your help!

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation with today’s topic: how do you keep your kids busy on rainy days?

Do you bust out the crafts? But, what if your kid isn't so crafty? Or one is, but the other isn't? 

Is this the only time that plopping them in front of the TV and throwing on a DVD, or letting them play video games in their pajamas all day, is appropriate?

Do you suit everyone up in their raincoats and boots and ship out to the movies or the for some bowling?

Tell us how you've handled soggy days with your kids in the comments. Think of the mother with three children running around her house trying to figure out how entertain them, even if for an hour. She needs you.
