I simply love having my boys home from school. Sometimes they make it challenging (and that's when everyone gets a nap!), but overall, I love the time of year when they get a long vacation.
I mentioned in the previous post that I cancelled cable right before the start of their Thanksgiving break. It may not sound like the brightest move, but so far, so good. We barely miss it!
I have compiled a list of things that may keep them occupied for a couple of hours a day during their long break, therefore saving mommy's sanity
Here are some of the things I came up with:
■ Sort toys and clothes for donating
■ Make jewelry/key chains
■ Hot chocolate and a movie
■ Pretend grocery store (it's a new thing around here, don't ask me why)
■ Pompom fight (I made some pompoms from some stray yarn. They make awesome ammunition)
■ Boredom Box (I'll post more about that one soon, it's a box with some little bits and things that they normally don't play with, they get it out when they are bored)
There's also my trusty Pinterest boards that I can call upon in their time of boredom, if I need more inspiration. Or, there's always Grandma!
I have high hopes for this next couple of weeks!
See ya!
Amanda
