I decided to share this because my sister thought it might be worth sharing. So here's how it came about. I am suffering from the winter blues. I started to think or should I say dreaming of the things we could do as a family in the nice weather. Here is what I came up with. By the way all these 30 activities are TV Free apart from one.
1. Movie/ Snack Night

3. Pudding Paint
4. Board Games/ Card Games/ Puzzles
5. Reading with Popcorn and M&M's

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS POST IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN :)
These are great ideas Chels!
ReplyDeleteAsh, I was thinking tonight about the fact that there is 30 things to do on my list. One thing for each day of the week :)How great is that?!
ReplyDeleteI love it, and I because of this post I went out and bought a kite- thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Maddy will have so much fun with the kite even if you are flying it! I bet our wind is better up here in Wyoming tho :)
ReplyDeleteWe have been having some windy days! So maybe!
ReplyDeleteSwimming is great in the winter here too. If you go to the evening (6-8pm) open swim at the Rec Center on a weeknight, it is not crowded at all.
ReplyDeleteJim got certified on the rock wall there, so one of these days you will have to join us and the girls can rock climb.

I have actually been planning to get Faith on the rock wall. I think she will really enjoy it after she tries. There is a young girl maybe 6 years old; she can climb all the way to the top!! I got the mom's phone number to see if Faith would want to learn from those girls.
