Easy Fix!

The weather this week hasn't been the greatest and the kids have been bored. So I tried some things out and thought I would share them. Unfortunately or fortunately (depends on your attitude i guess) we have to get a little creative in WA because it rains most days around here. We spent a good hour playing hide n seek Monday. The kids usually tell me where their hiding, but they managed to pick some good spots this day without letting me know. At one point I was able to keep the girls quiet enough that Malachi couldn't find us for like 5 minutes.
Well she wasn't so much bored as she was hungry in this one. She's my eater and she tried really hard to get all 3 cupcakes in hand.

ahhh...here's an idea that I love and probably a little late on learning. Banana popsicle. This was a great treat for her, especially since she's teething. My only recommendation would be to put an actual popsicle stick in the end before you freeze it.

This was just my rock star in the a.m. I love having a child who begs to go to bed. I got really lucky with her. The night before she had a bath and then immediately wanted to get into bed, which made for great rock star hair the next day.

Idea #3- let them splash around in the kitchen sink. Easy clean-up in my opinion. For Bos I just stripped her down and let her have at it. Malachi and Scarlett loved being able to get her and their sleeves wet.
There you have it my boredom ideas for this week. One day I'll get the "boredom jar" I made last year out for more ideas. For now I'll just follow the kids lead.
