It's coming. Summer. Long days. Short nights. And super hot Texas days. If I plan my days right, we'll be out and about in the mornings and mid-afternoons with quiet time falling in the scorching heat of the day. If I know my boys at all, I know there will be zero napping. For them summer means party time! All the time. My best defenses for summer sanity is daily quiet-time boxes. It took me a while to prep, but after just one day I am gonna be so glad I did this. I laid out a ton of craft objects, toys and the like and got to work... Once I had everything laid out, I organized my items into rows of five items for each category. Categories consist of the following: games - i'm not completely crazy. this has got to be fun. pen & paper products - to encourage drawing, writing and imagination brain power - because it might be the only time their little brains are stimulated each day. crafts - a girl can dream right? pom-pom races powered by their own breath if they're gonna draw it should be in 3-D to make it double fun sewing 101 journals (some pages have pre-marked pages to get them started. i can't wait to see what they create) brain power activities that require various skills to be mastered daily boxes include an activity from each category - they get to choose what they do that hour and a half At the end of each day they will have had some down time and I can read, nap or whatever. The possibilities are endless and this gets me a little excited. How are you getting ready for the dog days of Summer? xo
