An Alternative to Video Games

I say, "Use your imagination!" to my kids on a regular basis. With the amount of television shows popping up tat are geared towards kids and the new video games that are now available, it is no wonder my kids have no idea how to really use their imagination.

Last winter my kids watched way too much TV and played too many video games. We do have interactive video games and that made me feel a little better, at lest they were getting some exercise, but again, no imagination whatsoever! This winter I need to make sure I have games, toys, and puzzles that are fun for kids as well as challenging.

While it is important to have all sorts of educational and fun activities on hand for my kids, it is even more important for me (and for CJ) to be more involved with the kids when they are playing. I would love to play Barbie dolls with Olivia, or do a puzzle with Dante and Wyatt. I work so much I find it difficult to fit that in to my schedule. Well, not any more! I really need to prioritize things in my life and this is at the top of my list.

My Kids Want a Radio Flyer Wagon!

Remember those Radio Flyer wagons everyone had? Well, almost everyone. There such classic wagons and have been around since I think the 1930's. My kids have been bugging me for one (or three) for a few days now - they must've seen an ad or something on tv.

Nobody has a summer birthday around here so CJ and I usually get something for the kids in the Summer - if they deserve something - so maybe this Summer they will get one!
