It sounds like there are other moms that have been tirelessly entertaining housebound children all week long! I can definitely empathize; we live in McMinnville and my husband is a Porltand firefighter. He left for work in the early hours on Saturday, and it's looking like he wil be working until Wednesday morning!! We live on a hill and are not able to go anywhere. Our 4 children have entertained themselves with board games, books, sledding, computer games, etc, etc. Anybody have any other entertainment ideas?? It's snowing very hard here again......
