Anyway, looking at the games were fun. I think GREED is the winner (hey, nothing says adventure like dice and kids !), but the others looked fun and I am still trying to figure out what 'Pass-the-pig' is.
The current List:
1. Some time off
2. Dark Chocolate Almonds
3. Her MP3 player full of girls music
4. Home Pampering (A clean bathroom + kids making bath salts + nails done)
5. Some gardening
6. The game GREED !
7. And flowers (the old stand-by...)
Day 8 For the kids...
Um... Without saying too much about our family, let's just say that we have enough little-tikes in our family to ensure that every school in our district has a a reason to be... um... fimular with us. As such, I figured I would take one of the days and do a 'little' (emphasize little) something for the kids. I know I can do the usual, 'Boxes of Hearts' that you can only find this time of year, but that does not seem to cut it. Especially after they have figured out that Mom is getting something almost every day.
So, for today I am looking for ideas for kids that would be EASY enough for a 14dayguy, but would be a little different for the kids?
14dayguy
We like to decorate heart shaped sugar cookies for Valentine's Day. We frost them and then let them decorate them up with Valentine M&Ms and other kinds of candy. They love it, it's creative for them and afterwards it all gets eaten, so there's no cluttering up the house.
ReplyDeleteThis one's harder. I know that my kids always want time from me - acknowledgement of a story they tell, a companion to play with . . .
ReplyDeleteI'm all for making a coupon book for anyone! Coupons good for one date with dad. A coupon good for a spontaneous game night. A coupon good for a dinner at the restaurant of the kids' choice. Something like that.
Or you could also do a scavenger hunt. Hide a small prize somewhere and leave a trail of clues all over the house.
Yep. This one's a tough one.
I've always liked the idea of a little flower or plant for the kids...something that shows that you're thinking about them on this day too...plus a plant helps with responsibility, doesn't die after a few days...
ReplyDeleteThe fun things are good too...and we LOVE the dollar bins at Target for fun little toys and games. Good prizes for games and scavenger hunts with the BIG prize being something like going to play putt-putt, or a movie "date" at home with one of their favorite films.
I also like the idea of something special for each of them...so the older ones get to do something they enjoy, and the little ones can do something that's appropriate for their age.
