I actually added some of y'all's suggestions and put up additional lists (there are a lot of crazy things on there, my new favorite being to have a gargling contest - W did it outside with a friend yesterday and they cracked me up)<BR/><BR/>yeah Sher, none of my kids get too excited over scrapbooking yet - at least none of the ones that I trust with the nice tools... I had to supervise 2 four year olds and 2 six year olds yesterday as they cut out a bunch of die cuts... not for any purpose mind you... just to cut them out!TisforTonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666161027683872670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-91107946261141091212008-06-05T09:49:00.000-06:002008-06-05T09:49:00.000-06:00Great ideas...I have needed some of those around h...Great ideas...I have needed some of those around here. I like the D.I,pencil, writing a song ideas. What else could I add...vacuum the baseboards, how about color grouping the girls hair stuff?<BR/>Your list is pretty comprehensive.<BR/>Maybe we could put all the ideas in the "boredom jar" and they could take one out whenever they need inspiration.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03947668023484323703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-76910524312077378722008-06-03T22:06:00.000-06:002008-06-03T22:06:00.000-06:00I've had the "I'm bored." statement used on me alr...I've had the "I'm bored." statement used on me already and the "I don't know what to do". I think I suggested scrap booking. I'm shocked you didn't think of it. My usual suggestions are work -- which doesn't go over big. I have suggested that they think of something they want to do and get it on the calendar. Shockingly, they rarely want to do that. I think they want me to miraculously make their friends available and agreeable at all times. Alas, I cannot pull it off. I liked your list. I might copy it and make a poster for my children. I'll substitute "J" or "D" for "M".Sherie Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994444854624812741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-81450244219007326462008-06-03T13:17:00.000-06:002008-06-03T13:17:00.000-06:00What about collect all the potato bugs in the back...What about collect all the potato bugs in the backyard? That is a popular activity over here. Homemade popsicles? There are tons of good recipes on the internet. Wouldn't it be cool if your kids actually did want to memorize and AofF or a scripture? Or read a classic? I know I never wanted to as a kid so I can't really blame mine...I've got to set up a reward system to introduce some good variety/learning into the summer!cold cocoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214140693565850681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-54611980275737475472008-06-03T13:02:00.000-06:002008-06-03T13:02:00.000-06:00Do you have polish-able sliverware?

We need someone doing that here. <BR/>My additions would be to find a pet rock and write its history. And along the lines of labor--move all the furniture and pick up the junk that was underneath it.Megzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753816457840866418noreply@blogger.com
