Having the kids clean up also takes up a good chunk of time.<br />Our kids may have been unique because they loved it when I brought out the beach clothes and towels and let them pretend they were at the beach in the dead of January.granola_grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404140962884374051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095061043716694119.post-16642121274929660542011-01-06T09:31:17.359-07:002011-01-06T09:31:17.359-07:00Wait, wait, wait.

I also let my kids take digital pictures of things around the house. Very amusing to see what they will do for the camera. Trouble is, they need to be old enough to be trusted not to smash the camera.

She loves playing in the sudsy water and it disinfects a bit.<br /><br />We play card and board games. Which used to make Momma bored, but now that she is older it can be quite entertaining.<br /><br />Audio books with storybook in hand.<br /><br />LOVE your ideas - I'm saving them for this next go-around.a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.com
