Here we are at the 1st day of August, 2019. That can only mean that the school year is about to begin!
So... Ready or not, HERE COMES THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR!

I'm sure we have our "Ready to go back to school" kiddos and then our "NOOOOOOOOO!!! Not ready" kiddos. Either way, like I said, ready or not... :)

"I'm Bored!"

Mom... Dad... I'm bored...

How many times have y'all heard this since the kids have been out of school? For Keller ISD, they've been out a little longer than the rest of the DFW area so those parents have probably already heard it a million times, am I right?

In their defense, we all know that we did the same thing when we were their age. At some point most of us learned pretty quickly NOT to say those 2 words, "I"M BORED!" because it usually was followed with some sort of cleaning or outside labor in the Texas heat. 

While those are still great ideas, here are a few more:

1. GO OUTSIDE 

2. Play hide and seek (Inside or outside)

3. Have water gun fights (Outside, of course)

4. Get a few friends together and write a story. First person writes 2 sentences, pass the paper (YES paper) and then next person writes 2 sentences and so on.

5. Watch the sunrise and then later the sunset

6. Make a vision board (that's a good one for all ages)

7. Have a dance party (again... good for all ages)

8. Do an actual puzzle and not one on your phone, IPad, computer, etc...

9. Scavenger hunts are always fun

10. Volunteer in your community

11. Write a letter to a solider 

12. Play a board game

13. Learn to crochet. Could come in handy for birthdays, Christmas, etc...

14. Find a bible study to do

15. Take a bike ride

16. Write a letter to a grand parent (boy that would really make their day!)

17. Make a bucket list

18. Make dinner. Plan it, make a list of what's needed, make it and BAM! Instant night off for us parents. We'll probably have to buy it all but a night off from making dinner is a win!

19. This one might not be so fun but... Go through their stuff, get rid of what's not needed and donate it.

20. You can YouTube or Pinterest just about anything and learn to do something. When all else fails, that's always a great suggestion. Teach yourself how to make ice cream, slime, learn the alphabet in sign language, figure out a Rubix cube without taking the stickers off, just to name a few. 

I hope that these are some ideas that you hadn't thought of and that you get at least a little, "I"M BORED!" relief. Feel free to share with us any ideas you have! It's always good to have variety! 

Have a great summer!!
