Today’s Activity:
Go outside and build a snowman. Afterward come inside and have some hot chocolate.
Note:
If it isn’t snowman building snow at least get bundled up and go outside and play.
Evaluate:
After being cooped up in a vacation home with the kids all weekend (while my husband worked) playing with the kids was the farthest thing from my mind and yelling at them was the closest. Once we were outside building this cute little snowman I starting feeling much better about my crazy Christmas hyper kids. They LOVE this new snowy friend and Max suggested that we name him Frosty. Every time we went outside today he would say, “Hi Frosty. Bye Frosty. Goodnight Frosty.” Later on while at the grocery store Elese was singing Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer at the top of her lungs and shortly after that she and Max were holding hands and singing Jingle Bells. My point is…remember how much fun Christmas was as a kid? Remember the joy you found in little things? So this week, while your kids are bouncing off the walls with excitement do your best to just sit back, put in some ear plugs and let them have their fun.
