It was my son Andrew's fourth birthday this week and we had a party for him yesterday. One of the things the kids got to do at the party was to paint and decorate a picture frame. If you have kids you've probably seen this before... your child comes home from a party or event with a really nice picture frame and months (or years) later it's still sitting there with no picture in it.

But when we're in the middle of a major snow day and looking for something to do we tend to look for things that haven't been used for a while (or ever in this case).
