It's going to be pretty much raining all week.
Luckily we are on high enough elevations that we don't have to worry about flooding (though can't say that bout the rest of the area so let's keep those people in our thoughts and prayers)
At any rate....
I have a 2.5 year old and a 6.5 year old (can't believe she's that old already) and they are getting so terribly bored and TV only occupies so much and isn't great for them anyways.
Right now my son (the 2.5 year old) is coloring in a Barney coloring book.
And the 6.5 year old is watching Danny Phantom.
My question is do you have any rainy day activities you know of that keep those of you with kids occupied but dont' drive you insane.
And also.....you know with boredom in kids comes acting up.....any suggestions on that too, lately my oldest has been a little brat (and that's not just coming from me but also my MIL). She listens to her father just fine but not to me.
So my question for everyone is two things:
1. Rainy day Fun suggestions
2. Ideas for how to work in disicpline into the mix?
