We have tried to stay busy doing fun things even though school has started. I haven't let the kids start sports yet since once you start, things get SO busy. This spring we will let both kids start one sport and see how it goes from there. Paul is really excited, Samantha has less interest. Since that hasn't started yet we've tried to get in some other fun activities and keep the kids from being bored. We decided last year to only allow TV from Friday after school until Saturday night. I have relented and allowed Paul to watch TV during rest time when Samantha is at school or I would not get a minute by myself. It has worked out really well, but it does mean that on days off of school we have to get out and be busy a good portion of the day or there is a lot of fighting. Here are some of the random things we've done since school started...
Trying swimming in the backyard (she didn't like it)
Making a lot of "chompers." A. LOT.
Wrestling with Daddy...and losing
Taking down my parents deck
Being cute. Just really, really cute.
Going to the children's museum
Lots of reading...
...and "reading"
