Here are 5 activities we do to stay busy even in the summer.
1) Swim......swim.........swim. 3 summers ago, we purchased a blow-up pool for our family and it's been a great investment. Right now Cousin Cameron, C and H are enjoying this hot day, splashing together. Mommy tends to relax in the sun, occasionally dipping my feet into the pool (= We love it!
2) Legos - these fun blocks have become a favorite for C and H. We have hundreds of Legos in our home and I find them everywhere - on the bathroom counter, in Clayton's bed, in the couch cushions - you name it! But they love them - and it's great for creativity!
3) Puppet shows - a couple of Christmases' ago Santa brought Clayton a puppet theater, complete with puppets and dress-up costumes. Clayton has put on many puppet shows over the years and now Hudson is beginning to create some of his own little shows. What a great source of entertainment - and it is so cute!
4) The Occasional Cartoons - O.k. yes - there are some cartoons that I just love! Franklin the Turtle, Scooby-Doo, Clifford - just to name a few. When it's time to quiet down and get ready for nap - we turn on the T.V. "Hudson, after this show, it's time for your nap." - works every time - well almost!
5) Running errands - So, in the last few weeks I have gotten very brave! I have managed to take all 3 boys out on several outings with me. Usually Will and I split up the boys and tackle stops, but with Will at work and me at home - what' my excuse??? We have managed to take Clayton to the doctor, shop for shrubs/landscaping at Lowe's, and several outings to Target & Kroger! I may even attempt a local pool next week! Oh my!
What do you do to keep you munchkins busy on these summer days?
Headed to my kiddy pool for now...........
