{Bored already}




2 days off of school and on the second day they are bored already. Good thing they have school again next week. Yesterday they watched movies played wii and ate junk.

Today none of those sound good. I found E standing on his head next to the couch and K sitting on the floor staring at it.

E left with C to get lunch and K re-discovered a little can of play dough. I don't know where it came from as the play dough all jumped into the trash can a few years ago and no one has seemed to notice.

But after 45 minutes of being entertained and actually making things out of it I am reconsidering...maybe play dough for big kids is great. I didn't have to tell him not to eat it, to keep it on the table, to not use my good kitchen tools with it. He didn't just smash it in the table and carpet or shred it into a million little pieces and promptly wipe it all onto the floor like he would have 4 years ago.

Play dough might be welcomed around here again.
