Row, Row, Row Your Boat...


video

What do you do while your five-year-old's in Kindergarten, and your three-year-old wants to go fishing?

You turn over a picnic table, attach a line to a folded up calendar, hand him an oar, and send him to Sea!

Ships Ahoy!!!

***

They upgraded to a fishing boat once T got home...

I love that! If you loow your imagination to really run, it's not that hard to keep kids entertained.

Well done, mom!

Laggin said...

You fried up his catch for lunch, no?

Nicki said...

The picnic table actually looks like it makes a great boat! Well except for all the holes, I guess!!!

I love your header photo!

Very smart thinking with the boat. Next time you'll have to fill the yard with mud and make it a pontoon boat.

Nothing like making an old toy new again, the old-fashioned way!

I love it when children make toys better.

Stopping by checking out your mommy blog. I just started one and am looking at other Blogher members sites.

HA! Cheap upgrade.

And that's all they need!

I appreciate the creativity. I have a very interesting resource to share with you .Its about feeding your kids healthy foods. Toddlers go through phases of food acceptance. Eating better is not an overnight happening. It is a process of changing habits, establishing routines and finding ways to deal brilliantly with real world situations.
