Family Moment Monday

Have their ever been times in your household where the kids say...."I'm bored." "What can I do?" Heck there are sometimes when I say that as I am with the kids too! We have remedied the problem to some extent in our house.

This week Cavett and I brainstormed about things to do or play with. We wrote them down on a piece of paper and he cut them into little strips. We found a mug and have re-named it the "To-Do" mug. When we don't know what to do, we draw a piece of paper from the mug and we must do whatever it says.

Here's our list of "To-Dos" (notice TV and Wii are not included)

• Dress Up


• Mr. Potato Head/Robot


• Dominos


• Blocks


• Legos


• Activity Book


• Play Dough


• Army Men


• Puzzles


• Hot Wheels


• Craft


• Board Game


• Color/Draw


• Monorail Train


• Read books


• Cards


• Stamps


• Science Experiment--try here and here and here


• Math Puzzle/Game


• Spelling puzzle/Boggle


• Write a letter/card/salt


• Outside


• Pool

Of course the last 2 are only when the weather is condusive.

Hope this helps you beat the winter blues! Happy Family Moment Monday!
