For years I\u2019ve been babysitting my best friend\u2019s kids, Daniel and Nathan, and I feel so lucky to watch their personalities emerge. Now that they\u2019re 4 and 6, we\u2019ve become a big part of each other\u2019s lives\u2014they even call me Auntie Rai. <\/span><\/p>\n

While we usually spend our time together climbing trees or kicking a ball around the year, the recent snows in our area have made the jungle gyms impassable (and there are only so many snowmen I can handle), so we\u2019ll be making memories indoors for a while. Luckily I\u2019ve found a way to bring some of the boys\u2019 favorite outdoor sports in with a few fun, safe twists. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pom Pom Soccer<\/h4>\n

The boys are both avid soccer players\u2014their parents secretly dream of cheering for them from the stands of a college stadium one day. I support the cause by making sure they can enjoy their game even when snow is coating their backyard soccer field. Of course, I don\u2019t think their mom would be too thrilled if I let them kick a ball around the living room, so we had to get a little bit creative. <\/span><\/p>\n
