MONDAY - Take a picnic, and after all the rain we've had, we're ready for a day out in the sun! What could be better than spreading out a big blanket on the grass and lazing around with some fruit, a few sandwiches and some potato salad? The food just tastes better outside, and the kids will be thrilled to get to do something "different". And, picnics aren't just for lunch - why not do dinner outside as well? At least the crumbs on the floor are much easier to deal with! You don't have to go far, either...the front or back yard will work just as well as your local park.
TUESDAY - Working on letters - letter-writing that is! Put the names of relatives in a bowl, everyone draws a name, and then write a letter (or draw a picture) for the recipient! Have the kids address the envelopes and stamp them, and if you have the chance to take them to the post office, let them actually put them in the slot to mail!
WEDNESDAY - Make a movie! My kids love the fact that my digital camera can shoot movies, so that's what we're doing today! I'm going to let the 7 year old have at it in whatever genre he chooses...fiction, news, documentary, sports...its time to broadcast! The 2 year old will have a blast, too, but we're not going to even begin to figure out exactly what he's doing! Don't forget the library, too!
THURSDAY - Time to change that answering machine/voice mail recording, and what could be cuter than the kids on the recording? They'll love "practicing" and doing it over and over until they get it "just right"!
FRIDAY - Tired of wearing the same old clothes each day? Let's change them! Pick an old t-shirt and decorate away with paint, markers, iron-ons, fabric, scissors (think muscle shirt! HA). If nothing else, you've killed a few moments in the day, and if you're lucky, you'll come out with something that still might be wearable!
