Well, that's why you have more kids...so they can entertain each other! I'm not very creative with the kids. We just get by every day. Sometimes we go to storytime at the library and sometimes we go to playgroups.
So, anyway, this is "Annie Thompson" (in our OSU days). I married Alex Simms - he doesn't remember you or Peter, so you both must have been gone the 2 years he was at OSU after his mission. I don't think I knew that you and Peter got married...that's so cool. Your kids are adorable - I love the dimples. You'll have to check out my blog - I think we've got a few things in common. :)
We love to go on walks or jogs especially to the park so the kids can swing and slide for a while, read books, take a bath, clean up, color or do other projects, cook, and talk to Grandma on the phone ;-). I also like to go to different places to walk around like the mall if it's too cold outside and we go to the pet store there and I get to do a little window shopping while we're at it :-)T
here's also websites that have great ideas and have info on local activities for kids like here in CO there is a special toddler walk at the Nature Center and the library has special activities for kids of different ages like 'Paws for reading' and the kids get to spend time with a golden retriever while being read fun stories...playgroups are always fun too.
It looks like your kids have a blast though and that you do lots of fun things with them...AND I'm a little envious that the weather there in Florida must frequently be so nice! :-) I think you're a super cute mom Angie!
well here at the Hurst house we paint, draw, play duck duck goose, chase, eat snacks, walk to the park, go out in the backyard and dig in the dirt (this is a favorite, just get some diggers, cars, and shovels...) We do the playdough thing quite a bit and play games like shoots and ladders and Thomas the Tank Engine counting game (got it on sale at Ross)...your little boy would probably love that game, it's all about counting and recognizing #'s. Some days we practice stretch moves (like kid yoga) and some days we just play pretend with their toys... Sheesh, did realize that I have to conjur up so many activities in a day, it's a wonder I don't burn more calories :)
