What do you do with your kids on days like this?

We'll suck it up in 40 degree weather and go to a park/play ground but clearly no one is going outside today. J is ADAMANT that he get W out for a bit before football, lol. He's thinking of going up to Palisades Mall with him for a bit since we're in Bergen County and nothing is open.

If anyone knows of anything within a 30-45 minute drive of Paramus please let me know. All the indoor play places around here don't have open bounce on weekends....WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL. 

TIA

    that's because they make so much $ off of birthday parties and are like a factory on weekends. $500+ for 1.5 hours and they do them all day long. It's a gold mine!

    I'm going out w/the girls soon. Brian's taking G outside to ride her bike. I'm sure they won't last more than 1/2 hour but it's what she wants to do.

  • We just took a family trip to Target since we had to get stuff. That took 90 mins so the morning is pretty much over.

     

    You could go to a pet store.

  • neither one of us want to go outside so we are just watching movies, baking cookies and playing board games.  If he wants to go out that bad then I say take a ride to a McDonald's and have W play in the indoor playground for a bit.
  • chuck e cheese is an option too...or bowling
  • One mom blog said she takes her toddler to an appliance store and she dances in front of the walls of TVs
  • For a short outing Burger King with playground.  For longer outing Funtime Junction or Children's Museum.

  • We have a birthday party in a little while at that new chuck e cheese on rt 4. I'm not really a fan of chuck e cheese, but since its new, it can't be that bad.
  • We took an hour long drive up the beach and then back, went to the food store for dinner supplies and now they had a picnic and are watching a movie. we took them outside for less then 5 minutes and both complained about 3 min in
  • On days like this we also hit up the grandparents and invite ourselves over (theyve always said we have an open invite) Sometimes new scenery is good.  
  • call an aunt and have her take Bella to the movies.  that's what's happening here after her nap.  I am a puddle after last night and need all the veg time I can get.
  • J drove all the way to the Rockaway mall, lol. He found some inside play place he wants me to look into. I also thought of just crossing the river and roaming around Home Depot.

    J's bff is here and my sister came over too so I think we should be good. 

    Once football is over and we don't need to be home by a certain time we've got more options but this was more for just a few hours.
