Oh What Do You Do in the Day Time?
With all of our APX girlfriends and kids gone Avalynn and I have been trying to keep ourselves entertained every day and sometimes without a car. We do the usual things, eat, take naps, sing songs, read books, play with toys, go on walks (ok like 5 min walks, because the heat is ridiculous!) but we are both going a little stir crazy. So to all you SAHM's what are some fun things you do with your kids during the day, that also don't make YOU go crazy?

we have a garden, or do yard work (landscaping, decorating) we play with play dough, chalk, crayons, do crafts... there's not tons you can do with a little little one- but trust me- it may seem like you have a lot of time on your hands now- but it won't be long before you're extremely busy. Take advantage of this time to do projects you've been putting off, read books you've been meaning to, or try new recipes :D
do girls night too or start a play group- a girl needs a break and a healthy dose of girl talk every now and then
We walk around Costco. Often. :)
I know exactly what you mean!! For 4 months, we have been confined to our apt alone, and even though I had a car I couldnt take Emmett anywhere! haha. And to top it off, Jared has gone on lots of overnight trips for his job leaving us home for days at a time :-( I guess I dont really have a good answer to your question, I am just letting you know I feel your pain! haha. I watch shows on Hulu during the day, or on season DVDs to pass the time. I blog. And read lots of other blogs... and of course I all the things you listed too. I also like going to Yoga to get a release a couple nights a week. I am excited to read your other comments to get ideas!
Yeah I work out like 4 times a week mainly for the babysitting factor ha ha...and for the workout I guess! I watch whole seasons, took up photography and do lots and lots of photography blog stalking and research because I am so bored. We go to stores for fun or go take pictures or go to the pool or do play dates! Go to the library for storytime, we go to chick fil a to the play place, we are pretty boring and usually everything you can find to do lasts for like 15 minutes with their attention span so you run out of stuff really fast! I need some ideas also!
