and...
"Mom, I'm bored"
are three words that simply make me cringe
(to which I've learned to respond)
wash the dishes
clean your room
fold the laundry
(causing children to miraculously disappear for hours)
And I know that sometimes
they get bored
I get bored
we get bored
because we are just
looking for something
different
special
fun
to do
So here are some things
to try this Holiday Season...
to try this Holiday Season...
Make Something
Bake Something
An activity...
and a snack?
Yes please, and thank you!
Yes please, and thank you!
Pretend Shopping
Give yourself a shopping limit
(or just pretend shop)
get creative, and have fun
Having someone else over
may help spark a little creativity
(like the time the girls made)
a fort using only
a blanket
a backpack
a jump rope
may help spark a little creativity
(like the time the girls made)
a fort using only
a blanket
a backpack
a jump rope
