Things To Do With Kids

I spent the past week helping out with the grandkids and while I was there I found a book titled "365 things to do with your kids while they're still young enough to enjoy it"  Ain't that the truth though.  I see such a difference in the kids at this age as to what they enjoy and don't.  I have to admit  that after browsing the book, we've all done a pretty good job already.  I include things that my hubby and I have done with our own kids because this will stay with them so they can repeat it with their own.  We always do some kind of a craft while I'm out there and this time it was sun catchers.  I think they've probably done this before or at least a version of it already.  This time though I picked out some things specifically for them (horses and sports).  It was a success!  We also did the usual cooking (make your own pizza on the grill and sugar cookies).  They also turned out pretty good despite using some packaged products (thank goodness for Sharp Shopper).  We also went out after dark one night and had a game of hide and go seek with the headlights I bought them for Christmas.  That was fun and we'll include some neighbor kids in that the next time.  I go back in July and have my next project lined up  -  flour stars in the grass.  I'll try them here first to make sure it'll work but it sounds like fun.  That will be worth another blog I'm sure.
