Whew! Thanksgiving break came and left didn’t it? I know I’m not the only parent that loves to have her kids at home but at the same time is glad when they go back to school. Jayden was home for a whole week so It’s nice to get a break from getting up early to get kids ready, it’s nice to be able to do new activities, and it’s also nice to spend time doing nothing as a family. But after that second or third day your kids start becoming just a tiny bit annoying. I mean, they start annoying each other, and the age difference doesn’t even matter. Jayden can be minding his business and here comes Gabriel Giovanni to bother him, steal a couple Pokémon cards and take off running with them. So we try to do activities that aren’t our every day activities to keep them entertained. Thankfully we had a couple nice days so we were able to get some outdoor time too. The day is filled with laughs until one of them gets hurt or one off them is doing something the other doesn’t like. And then it becomes full of screams, whining, and even some crying. Sometimes you just have to walk away from those moments, and That’s when you call your husband and tell him he can have his kids. Am I right? No, but here are some of the activities we did to survive our Thanksgiving break with 3 little ones: •Taking a nice long walk •Made a salt dough project •Coloring •Target trips •Visited a local festival •Tried new recipes •Played video games •Shopped for ugly Christmas sweaters Overall, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. And I’m actually looking forward to our longer Christmas break in a few weeks. I’m looking forward to everything except for the extra grocery money spent from my kids wanting to eat every hour for 2 weeks.
What are some of your favorite activities to do during breaks?
