Spring break is only a couple weeks away, and I'm starting to think about how to keep my girls entertained when they're home every day. Last year, we took the kids on a two night stay to the Great Wolf Lodge and the year before we took them on a 12 hour drive to visit friends up north. This year I'm actually looking forward to an at-home staycation, especially because all my girls get carsick when we go on long drives.
My older girls love to craft and create. I'm planning to put them to work with my Baby GO from Accuquilt and get my scraps organized. They love this task, and do a great job.
My oldest daughter will also be having her birthday in the middle of Spring break (they get two weeks off) and so we'll be in birthday planning mode, and I hope to put them in charge of making some decorations for the house, and maybe I'll even be brave and let them make and decorate cupcakes too.
We also plan to have lots of outings - to our local library, the swimming pool, McDonalds playplace, and visiting with friends who also have their kids off school for Spring break. I also hope to tackle potty-training with my two year old, maybe having his sisters home and encouraging him will help. He sees the Kinder Surprise eggs on top of the kitchen cupboards and knows that he gets one when he goes. I told my girls that if he does a 'job' then they all get one, so I'm sure there will be lots of encouragement for him!
