Jacob has the summertime blues. He won't admit it, but he really needs to be back in school. He likes to be social and he likes to be busy. The last couple of weeks he's been especially "bored." He got a little spoiled when Melinda and Sam were in town and with all his play dates when I was recovering. On Saturday Mel and I took the boys to the water park and then to the Dakota County Fair. It was a fun, busy day. Then on Sunday Jacob said, "we never do anything fun."
What?So today I decided we'd make our own fun. We started the day with mohawks (for the boys, not me).
Then we went to the library and armed ourselves with educational videos, reading books, craft ideas, kid's cookbooks and a science experiment book.
Our first chemistry experiment- the density of different liquids.
"Corn on the cob" treats
Water balloon fun
It was a good day and I didn't hear "I'm bored" once, but I'm exhausted.
