Adventures in Parenting

Wake up, brush your teeth, eat breakfast, go to school, come home from school, do homework, and on and on it goes.

Life gets pretty mundane and downright boring.

Each day goes by, and before you know it, your life has just passed you by….

Stop!

We have to take a hold of life, and get it out of its boring routine!

Let’s not wait for the next vacation. It doesn’t have to cost a thing to make life more interesting.

Therefore, our task on Day 8 of our 30 Day to Better Parenting Challenge is to do something crazy with your kids – something out of the ordinary, something to get out of boring cycle. Yes, have some crazy fun today!

Here are some suggestions:

*camp out in the living room, use flashlights and tell ghost stories.

*go TP a friend’s house at night. (my friend did this with her kids and were not caught!)

*pretend there is no electricity from 6pm-midnight, and pretend your cars aren’t running either. Roast hot dogs in the fireplace, eat by candlelight, be resourceful.

*if it’s summer, get some water balloons and go at it!

*pitch tents and sleep in the backyard (fortunately bathrooms are nearby!)

Ask the kids for ideas, I am sure they have plenty! Just let loose and have fun.
