Car Slingshot

The boys got themselves a rubber band and stretched it across the legs of the chair.  They wanted to see if they could fling their cars across the floor.  The fun thing about this activity is that they had to figure out how high or low to place the rubber band on the chair and then which kind of car was the best to use.  They experimented with a bunch of different cars, but I only got pictures of them using the fire truck.  (I was doing dished while they were doing this).  It was a lot of fun to see them work together to figure it out.

Sleeping under the stars

Yesterday was a very crazy day.  Usually my Fridays are so quiet and I can get all my cleaning done.  That was not the case this week.  I had to run and get groceries which ended up being a 4  hour trip and then came home cooked dinner, and then Bob had to run into town for a class.  I did not have time to fit in a fun, unusual activity and so we settled for a movie and sleeping under the stars.  The boys got to choose their movie and we camped out on the living room floor for that.  By the time Bob got home, it was dark enough for them to go out and sleep on the trampoline under the stars.  The boys loved it.  (I don't have any pictures.  I was too tired.)

While I was grocery shopping I did pick up some of the fun materials we need to do that other boredom busters.  I think I spent about 15 dollars on items that will entertain for the next month. I am very excited.  Come back on Monday and check it out.
