Things To Do When You Are Bored

Not that we are ever bored, because as parents it's nearly impossible to be bored.  This list was created by my kids and can be used by your own kids if you so desire.  I thought it would be fun to share.

  1. write letters to yourself
  2. Send thank you notes to people you love
  3. Climb the sidewalk *
  4. Post funny missing dog picture
  5. turn your favorite book into a comic
  6. decorate a shoe box like you (use cutouts and drawings)
  7. Follow an ant
  8. Make a time capsule
  9. Build a birdhouse **
  10. Buy property on Mars +
  11. Neighborhood clean up
  12. Sell Pet Rocks
Yes, they actually set up a pet rock stand
And yes, they sold some.  8 for $2!  How about that!?


*  Climbing the sidewalk:  On your hands and knees and pretending you are using a rope to climb up!  Bonus...jump off the curb and pretend it is a cliff.
** I know you can do this with milk cartons
+  Make a certificate claiming your land.  Be as creative as you want.

What do you do when you get bored?

The winner of our Extravaganza is Suze from Suze's Corner.

Love it! I remember being a little kid and learning very quickly to never say the word bored around my mom. I would quickly be assigned a chore to do. :)
Thanks for the awesome giveaway. I was so excited to find out I was the winner!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
