Summer is coming. And while that means there are suddenly a ton more things we can do, it also means the end of day care and more "Do you want to play with me?" I like to play with Isaac, but...sometimes the same things over and over aren't so fun.
So my plan is to have two jars. A fun jar and a work jar. Each day we'll choose one activity from each. (Although I have the right of refusal if it isn't going to work that day.) We'll see how it works. It might flop, but if it doesn't I think we'll both have a more fun summer.
Are there any more things that you can think of? For anything around the house I would like to have the materials or spend a very minimal amount; that's the criteria for most of the art/science projects. I expect that some things, like going to the park or playing in the sand/lake will still just happen as many activities aren't that long.
