We are on day 3 of Spring Break and although our first day was a breeze as the kids entertained themselves outside pretty much all day, now they are starting to get bored. Yesterday when they came in SO bored I jotted down a scavenger hunt on a piece of scrap paper and sent them out on an adventure.
They were gone for about 30 minutes looking around our cul-de-sac for everything on the list. Then they were back wanting more. I made a new list and sent them out and we repeated this all afternoon.

is a must-have at our house although I know lots of moms that don’t allow it (hello, it entertains for hours!! And all I have to do is sweep up the floor when they’re done) and all of my boys have gone through a stage where they could have lived in a dirt pile. So painting with our hands using finger paint is really no big deal around here as long as it is contained to the kitchen.
I’m a mom of 4 boys, which also makes me a
nurse, referee, taxi driver,teacher, party planner, story teller, barber,dietician, baker, atm, maid, personal shopper, jungle gym, coach, puppeteer, motivator and negotiator. On the rare occasion that I get a moment to myself I like to sing, play the piano and guitar and just relax. I’m sharing my life with you as well as fun activities, crafts, recipes and ideas designed just for boys, in hopes that together we can, not only survive, but find joy in raising boys. So leave a comment and get involved. I’d love to hear from you!
