Free Activity E-Book

by Toni

 My kids are with me all day, every day, every season so “summer” boredom has a way of becoming all year boredom or at least it used to.  Free Stuff 4 Kids is one of my favorite resources for curing “But there’s nothing to do!!” syndrome.  And right now if you subscribe to her site you can download a free ebook with coloring pages, connect the dots, mazes and such.  It reminds me of the big, fat activity books my mom used to always get us for trips and since we plan on being in the car a lot over the next couple of weeks, I printed two copies and put them in some extra presentation folders I had lying around.

There are all sorts of places on the web where one can find activities for kids and I could spend my time looking for them but I like letting someone else do the work of gathering those resources into one place because spending more time playing with my children instead of spending time looking for things to play with my children works for me.

For more ideas all in one place check out this week’s “Mom, I’m Bored” Edition of Works for Me Wednesday.

 

Oh, and have you clicked on the Kid Pages in the sidebar?  That’s fun too.


Give up?

by Toni

 

This is the location of our new apartment.  We are keeping our old space in Grandma’s basement for the weekends but during the week will travel with Will to Bartlesville.  With gas prices the way they are it makes economic sense to keep a separate weekday place and given how many hours Will must commute and therefore be away from home it makes emotional sense too.  Over the next few weeks we will be adapting to life with four people in a 600+ sq ft space.  This should be fun – and make for some great blogging too. (assuming I have time for that)


I Know, Let’s Play a Game

by Toni

Here’s how it goes – I’ll post a picture of something significant and you guess why.

Here’s a few hints.  It’s a newly renovated building in Bartlesville.  It’s 3 blocks from the YMCA, about 8 blocks from the public library, within walking distance of a natural food store, a really cool park and Will’s job.  And it’s also why I’ve not been a consistent blogger of late.  Any guesses?

I’ll tell you tomorrow.


Photo Hunt – Theme: Art

by Toni

*updated 5-6-08:  Link to more Gate pics removed because it led to my private photo album.

Around here this is what passes for art… and we love it.

And speaking of tall masterpieces here are some pictures from Gate, OK. Will’s hometown is so small that you’ll miss it if you blink which would be unfortunate because a couple of ladies out there went to a lot of trouble to make keeping your eyes open worthwhile.

Did you play?
