Less is More

As we've all had various degrees of illness around here it has been all quiet on the home front. We are normally finding ourselves out and about but lately we've really just stayed around the house.

With this in mind my kids have frequently come out to say how bored they are. This always amazes me since we just had Christmas and those two made out like bandits. Holy cow they have a variety of different things to play with but still find themselves bored. My favorite was when the hot item for seriously two weeks or more has been the Styrofoam inserts that came with Jeff's new crock pot. Really two little pieces of garbage have entertained my kids for hours. Andrew even wrote his name on one so that he could claim it as his. They've come up with a whole range of games with these things. Note to self less is more. Who knew that something like that would be the hot ticket to play with. Maybe I need to let them just be creative cuz they seem to be very good at it.
