There are times when having twins and teens is challenging..... Summer is definitely one of those times. These smiling faces are truly the reason I wake up in the morning looking forward to the day. I love spending time with my kids and slowing down during vacation from the school year hustle.. but sometimes these little angels can take monkey see monkey do a little too far and drive me crazy.
I have an echo on most occasions and have to confiscate electronics over and over... how do they keep finding all my hiding spots???? Most days its all I can do to keep it all together and think up a new activity to get everyone to relax and try and build a memory.This momma is ready for back to school like yesterday even though we have to wait till Monday.
How are you holding it together the final stretch before back to school??
Here are a few almost free things we have done this summer to keep busy:
Reading READING Reading is the go to activity. I mentioned confiscating electronics- this is what they can pick up instead- we read together too.
Took a drive to find a nice spot and star gaze.
Homemade coloring and drawing sheets using Sharpie and printer paper on hand.
Got kids in the kitchen -Basic skills like sandwich making and homemade pudding were a hit!
Kids can cook ! Snack and lunch prepping skills for kids was fun - and mom got a break!
Planted vegetables and flowers in the garden and tended to them- learned about photosynthesis etc.
Tried a new spot for treats- Boba tea is definitely a new favorite!
Made S'Mores indoors- We used a few methods including oven, BBQ, then a microwave-
Twins voted micro method as best.
The marshmallows get insanely puffy and they can DIY!
Visited the beach! This is always the all time favorite- spend on gas but packed eats and drinks.
