We did scavenger hunts – find something yellow! Find something square!

Dance parties are fun.

But, you know… I mostly rest when my husband is home. He can wrestle and entertain the kids.

I just thought of something else since you are always taking and posting pics and your kids are so little….why don’t you guys take a day and ‘make the alphabet’ with your bodies kinda like sesame street used to do and take pics of each letter and then make them into a book?

A color walk! That’s a great idea! I think we might have to do that. It’s so hard trying to find things to do inside because it’s SO COLD outside, but we could do a color drive. The kids would love that just as much.
And yes, we would love to come to Salt Lake, just as soon as we can!

Amanda, I have asked the kids. They want to make doughnuts. We just made “sugardoodles” (that’s what lacy calls “snickerdoodles”) yesterday so I told her no doughnuts today. Or tomorrow. Or until the sugardoodles are gone. The kids are still too little to play any kind of sport with. I kicked a soccer ball to trent twice yesterday and then he lost interest, haha! They both love going to the library, so we may do that. And they both love ice cream, so we’ll probably get them some.

Thanks for the ideas, you guys! Keep them coming!!!!

Oh the possibilities! We love board games, or a pick up ‘game’ of softball. I know that yours are smaller than mine though. I love the idea of a color walk, we have never done that before. We love to go to the park together. We love to work together too lol.
Did you ask your kids what they would choose to do?

You could watch a movie….or something….or whatever. :)

J/k. I have some friends here that will go on a walk and choose 1 or 2 colors to take pictures of. They call it their “red and yellow walk” or their “purple” walk and they will walk around town looking for those colors and taking pictures along the way. I don’t know how exciting that would be for your kids, but it’s an idea. :)

You can use a digital camera to “make a movie”. On your computer you probably have a program called windows movie maker (or something like that) and you can put video or pictures with music, words, etc. and make a fun movie.

You can come to Salt Lake City?? Please? :) That’s all the ideas I can think of for now. If I think of more I will let you know.
