Monthly Goal:
Today I turned off the computer and pretended to be batwoman.
Don’t forget to leave a comment about what you did today. Remember, it doesn’t have to be huge…just something that you wouldn’t have normally done. I wouldn’t have played batwoman if I didn’t realize that I needed to post something on here but it ended up being great for me and the kids!
Today’s Activity:
Have your children help you plan for a summer vacation.
Note:
If money is an issue then plan something close to home and set out a jar so the kids can put their change in it to help pay for the trip. They will appreciate the trip so much more it they contributed to making it happen.
Evaluate:
I did this activity super quick! We just talked about it as we walked to school. I decided to be brave and just see what they wanted to do for a vacation this summer. I was nervous it was going to be something oober expensive but Max excitedly replied, “Let’s go to Raging Waters!” That was the perfect idea. With us trying to get into a home that will likely need some repairs, staying close to home is a great idea, although, I’d love to go to Disneyland. When I told Max that he could help us save up to go he was thrilled and said that he wanted to use the change from his “money jar” to help contribute. The above picture is of Max when he was 4 and going on his first water slide with my nephew. Being that I have a fear of water I was a nervous wreck but he had a blast!
