time change woes

This time change is really proving to be a challenge for us! Normally we spend the afternoon and early evenings playing outside to keep the kids busy, but now it gets dark so early that we're having to be creative in finding ways to occupy them indoors. We can only take so much coloring, play-doh, bubbles, and Daddy wrestle time! What do you do when your stuck indoors to pass the time?

The other factor in the time change is how early the sun comes up. Both kids wake up at 7am now as opposed to the 8 - 8:30 in the "old" time. This means we need more activities for the morning and both kids are grumpy by 10:30 and are in need of a nap. So the time change is definitely making some looooong days for us.
