ten favorite things to do with a kid

Cheap, or free, these are some of the ways we love to spend our days. In this super-scheduled, lightning fast world we live, it’s nice to slow down every once in a while.

1. pack a picnic and have dinnner at the park
2. Play fence music
3. make cookies
4. build pillow forts
5. balsa wood airplanes
6. movie night, complete with popcorn
7. library, for story time and just checking out books
8. piling on the couch and reading books
9. play tag, or just chase each other
10. plan a secret surprise for someone we love… breakfast in bed

But here’s my question: it’s all well and good to do all this stuff with the younger kids… what will we do when they are teenagers?
