Monday at the Soccerplex!

We've been going a little stir-crazy.  After a weekend of bitter cold weather and arctic blasts of wind, we needed to get out of the house.  A friend of mine introduced me to Monday morning playtime at the Soccerplex.  The kids can run wild in one of their indoor "fields"; and they have piles of balls, toys, scooters, and fun things for the kids to play with.  Here a few fun pics from our morning today:

 (not sure if you can see the static in Kate's hair; apparently astro-turf and winter hair are highly incompatible!)

The parachute is always a huge attraction for all the kids.  Today my kiddos managed to score a lot of parachute time.  And since that usually means mom dragging them around the field, I got a great arm workout too!

 After awhile, Kate took over the dragging.  Apparently, she can do it better than I can.  Of course, she can.

Oh, and time-outs still work at the soccer-plex.  Kate found that out a few times this morning!  All in all, it was  fun morning for everyone.  It's nice that they are contained and can feel some freedom to go where they want and do what they want.  As long as you dress them in bright colors or vivid patterns as to easily spot them, it is a pretty stress-free morning.  Thank goodness!!
