You know those days. We all have them. You struggle to get phonics done. You struggle through math. You’re moving about the speed of a slug stuck on something sticky, and the kids aren’t moving at all. They keep falling out of their chairs. They keep whining.
And at some point, you decide to chuck it. This just isn’t working for you today.
. . .Field trips are great, but sometimes you need somewhere to disappear to, if only for an hour. So what do you do when everyone is stir crazy? Where do you go? Tell us in this meme!
With an active 2 1/2 year old and lots of cool and frosty days, you can imagine that we get stir crazy ALOT around here. But, mom has a few tricks up her sleeve when this house is not big enough for the ball of energy that is within it.
One of our favorite places to go is the local Children’s museum. It’s small enough for me to sit in a spot with the baby and watch my son play and have fun without worrying. He especially likes to play in the kid sized grocery store, pizza shop, and fire station. He also loves to play with the trains at the train table.
Secondly, we like to visit the YMCA and climb on the “adventure challenge”. This is where we go when it’s cold outside and we really need a playground to burn off that steam!
Other places that we love to visit are the park and the library. When summer finally comes, we’ll have loads to do outside in our new yard.
