And those are some of my very favorite memories--doing ridiculous things with my brother because we were bored made us best friends and not just siblings. Also, I bet it's super fun to watch what your kids come up with each day! :) My brother and I came up with things to do pretty quickly when we’d complain about being bored and our mom would respond, “oh, then you can clean your rooms!” And those are some of my very favorite memories–doing ridiculous things with my brother because we were bored made us best friends and not just siblings.

I love this entry on bored kids and I'm so glad you had the patience and fortitude to wait for them to capture the magic that we knew as kids. It makes me happy for all of you, and it also brings to mind some happy memories of blanket forts, outdoor games, and running home for dinner after a day of freedom from schedules and planned activities. It also reminded me of your (somewhat doggedly) positive spirit! Miss you! xoxo Robin Hey there!
