Saturdays can be difficult finding things to keep the kids interested and entertained. We were sitting around this last Saturday - bored - and were going to put a movie on but the kids were fighting over who's turn it was to pick the movie so I nixed that idea. Then I started going through all my old ads and coupons and made a pile of trash out of it. Soon, my brilliant and creative husband ran downstairs to get a box. He and the kids spent a good hour or more cutting things out of the ads to make the box into a house. They had so much fun and were entertained with simple stuff for a LONG time with no electronics turned on. NICE.
This was the final product.
When they were all done I got out a trash bag and we started picking up the trash and putting in the bag. Ben made us dump it back out then ran downstairs to get our tractor and dump truck.
First, the backhoe (?) picks up the trash...
Then loads up the dump truck....
which then takes it to the trash!
Oh, and then the dump truck ran out of gas so we had to fill 'er back up.
This took another good half hour of good, free, creative fun.
Miles just liked playing around in the papers.
