We have a busy household, but with 3 little boys in the house, there is always ample play time. But with all families, there are things we are good at and things we aren’t.
How We Rock Playtime
Outdoors-
We love to play outside, if the weather is nice, that is usually where you will find us- swinging, biking, in the sandbox, watertable and even eating our meals. The boys love to eat in the great outdoors! (don’t ask me in January if we are good at this, winters are rough lol)
Dancing-
ooohhh we love to shake our booties here are mom vs the boys! Some of our fav family moments are when we break out the tunes and get down with some funky break dancing and air guitar! The video camera often makes an appearance, which is when the adults hide from view and the kids go wild!
Chores-
ha! yes, I did say chores! My kids are 5, 3 & 2, so helping me with cleaning is actually really fun for them. (We’ll see how long that lasts!) While I know I an get things done quicker without the ‘little helpers’ in tow, it’s just too priceless to see each of them with their paper towels in hand following me around the house.
Cooking- again with the chores! This is such a great way to sneak in some learning, get dinner made and have some fun. I kind of joke that I can tell how much they are growing by how they measure under the counter, if their heads start to touch the cupboards above, it’s time to bring in the chairs! We need a bigger kitchen for 3 boys to help!
Where We Fail
well, fail seems like a strong word. Let’s go with ‘how we can improve’. We had 3 boys in 3years. They are all young, all boys and tend to get lumped together for the most part. We could do better on the one-on-one time. We tend to be an all or nothing family when it comes to outings. One parent either gets to escape the madness alone or we all go along. The boys really thrive on attention and this is one area we would like to improve on.
Kinder makes life easy because anytime is play time when you bring a Kinder Egg along and add it to the mix! So simple. So much Fun!
