We are only a week and a few days into summer and I have heard " I am bored" way too many times. Take a look at my Ben, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon (look beyond the roses)
I have very active, sometimes over active boys, and if they are not skimming the sand, jumping jumps, kicking goals "olly-ing" over a curb, eating or sleeping....they are bored
and Saturday...they were so bored they could hardly live...ugghhhh...."Nobody knows...the trouble I've....."
So, I had a thought...
Because of the launch of my new class earlier in the day..I invited them to the table for a doodle lesson and low and behold....it was an amazing idea and for about two hours, I wanna say, I felt like I had soothed their bored little souls and saved the day from being a complete waste.
and as we all happily doodled, the sounds of ice cream man drifted through the air just in time for a little "mom-can-I-have-some-money" doodle break...and all was well with the world!
