Rob went back to the US for over two weeks and I have certainly been neglecting this blog. Life was even more boring than usual in terms of things to write about. The boys kept me VERY busy, but there was nothing really to say about going through the chores of the day and keeping the kids under control. Now that he is back, I am hoping that things get back to a comfortable level of boring with some fun thrown in every now and then.
I have been blogging, however. I have been working on a new blog. It is called Ways I Entertain My Kids and it is located at http://entertainingmykids.blogspot.com/ . Its purpose is to remind me of the things that I do to keep my kids busy. When Ryan gets older, I can repeat some of the activities. If I go back to teaching, some of the ideas might be useful there as well. Anyway, I decided to put them in a separate blog because I write enough about my kids to begin with. If you don't have kiddos the same ages as mine you probably don't want to hear about nursery rhyme crafts or their favorite toys in detail. Even if you do have kids the same ages you might not want to hear about that. So anyway, look if you want. I plan on keeping most of the ideas VERY simple. I am not trying to be Martha Stewart or some sort of child entertainment genius. I am going with what gets me through the day. Soon I will probably have a post about the kids playing in the boxes that their toys come in. Sometimes the boxes are better than the toys! So really, it will be down to earth, nothing fancy. Any "special" materials I have will be leftover from my teaching days and things that can be easily improvised in a simpler fashion. I just wanted my school stuff to be durable so I didn't have to make it again every other week. :)
Enjoy or ignore. It is primarily for me. I think the boys will enjoy it later in life too. :)
