Apparently your link is broken!

Well, I know how Mrs R and I keep our sibling busy during the holidays, when he is not on the X Box, computer...

We take out some quality time with him.

A happy home is a house with toys all over the place.... just need to educate the kids in tidying up at the end of the day.... although easier said than done...

How to keep the kids busy on Xmas Break? Oh.. Let me count the ways....

1. Here is a shovel. Take shovel, open door, through door, close door. Then start relocating white stuff from walkways and driveway into non-walkway areas. (That's a traditional favorite that keep's em busy for hours!)

2. This is a Garden. This is a dead weed. It's kinda ugly. Here are some gloves...and you remove said weed to leave clear dirt... (glances up 20+ feet of garden beds) Not too many more to go... Yell if you freeze!

3. Spring Cleaning? They were kidding about Spring....it's Winter Cleaning in my house! Free, bored labor. Well.. we can't have that, can we?

See? Many creative and fun things to keep the kiddies busy over break.
