After dinner, pull out the kitchen/dining room chairs and some blankets and build a fort, play play-doh, play legos (I cant remember what the big ones for little kids are called), get a start on Christmas goodie baking (things that freeze well), have them help sort grocery coupons and make a grocery list (can be educational), make up and tell stories, color in coloring books, sort laundry (match the socks), have a tea party for the stuffed animals, take pets(?) for a dark walk, you'll be able to walk and look at Christmas lights shortly, our mall has an indoor play area for kids (not sure how clean it is, though, mine's too old for it), draw pictures, get some bathtub crayons and let them hang out in the tub for a while, make Christmas lists, make paper turkeys and pilgrims to decorate the house, have a pillow fight, give the dog (?) or cat (?) a bath, play dress up, make crafts, paint pictures, dust the living room (you do high, they do low), pick out clothes for tomorrow (whatever they pick out, you have to wear, regardless of the occasion), plant seeds and place them on the windowsill, measure nightly once they start to grow, sing songs to the plants to make them grow, play a board game, turn on some tunes and dance, take them to a friend/relative one night a week so you each get a day off, put them to bed early
Thats all I've got!
Nan
