Now that summer is drawing to a close I am running out of things to do I am less motivated than ever before.
To alleviate afternoon boredom (and give me a chance to finish the book I’m reading) we drew our own railroad tracks on the driveway. It winds this way and that, and, for additional educational value, I wrote the alphabet and numbers 1 – 10 up the sides of the track as well as the words STOP and GO. Note the large fish pond in the middle.
So.
Let’s see how long this keeps them busy. I’m timing it. It’s already been about 20 minutes. [Edited to add: my best estimate is that the fun lasted about 40 minutes]
