Mom I'm Bored!

Summer time is the ideal time to hear the words "I'm Bored". You don't hear that a lot in my house anymore because I can usually come up with some things for my children to do. I am a pretty good Mom in that area. Well, my children might disagree in that area. They aren't too thrilled when my answer is "well, go sweep the kitchen floor". It doesn't take very many times of coming up with my ideas before they decide it is better to think of ideas on their own. ;-)

I was visiting a website today that had a list of 200 ideas for summer time activities. You can read the post and list yourself here. I have included the first 25 for you below.
