Being bored doesn’t have to be an excuse to go out shopping and spend a ton of money. Here are some fun ways to fight boredom that don’t cost a cent!
Jump up and down on the bed!!
Visit a local park!
Take time to smell the flowers.
Get all dressed up — just because!
Blow bubbles!!!
Turn your living room into an airplane!
Make lots of funny faces……
…with BIG googly eyes!!
Enjoy a hot cup of tea. Mmmmm… tea!
Spend some time in your anti-gravity chamber.
Wishing you and your family a fun (and frugal) weekend!!
Dear Valerie,
Remember when we accidentally left the kids in the anti-gravity chamber for… oh, 5 or 6 hours?
Good times.
Love,
Mark
I fell asleep in there once and I think it’s still affecting my bone density. Perhaps you should adjust it a bit?
1. AHHH please put Clara in pigtails PRONTO! She looks too grown up (and still adorable, of course).
2. I sure hope Mark isn’t supposed to be flying the plane, as he looks like he’s about to nod off…
3. I still haven’t figured out the anti-gravity thing :>)
I know!! She’s growing up far too fast!
Yup, he was the pilot, and when he was pretending to fall asleep Emily was in fits of giggles!
Hee hee!! Anti-gravity is lots of fun!
Sigh, pigtails, I so want to put my girl in pigtails.
Poor me.
Your daughter is SO cute — even without the pigtails! But I hear you… when my girls stop wearing them I’ll be SO sad!!
Well there is never boredom in your house!
Cute pictures.
Ha!! Isn’t that the truth? 🙂
Cute!
I remember playing airplane when I was a kid. My parents went to Hawaii and we used their tickets to pretend play for months!
That sounds like so much fun!!!
THe anit-gravity pic is pretty tripy to look at…love the expressions!
I passed it along to Emily’s teacher for the bulletin board, and she wasn’t sure whether to hang it so Clara was upside-down or right-side up. I can understand the confusion!
These pictures are wonderful. What great ideas! Love the airplane.
Thank you so much!! xoxo 🙂
We tried jumping on the bed, but the children kept falling off, and bumping their heads.
Did you call the doctor? What did he say? 😉
My kids are currently really into playing “marathon” after Daddy ran last week.
I still have to make plans to come over to your house and try out the anti-gravity chamber.
Do they just run all around the house, while you try to pass them drinks on the go? That’s awesome!!!
I love the airplane idea! And the anti-gravity chamber! Great pics!
Thank you, Heather! xoxo
We’ve been playing airplane in our house, but my kids are mostly interested in packing for the trip =)
That’s so cute! What sorts of things do they pack? I always leave that for the last minute.
Great money saving ideas for some good old fun!
Thanks, Lindsay! 🙂
