No Electronics Day!!

Today Caitlyn and Evan were at our house and I challenged them to a no electronics day. I told them that I would check them at the door to see if they had brought any electronics (games, laptop, kindle, phones, etc.). Caitlyn had brought her phone but she promised to not use it all day and Evan left his Kindle in his mom`s car. I planned a fun day to keep them busy and I have to say that I had alot of fun too!!

First Activity: Go on a nature scavenger hunt.

Second Activity: Get some yummy treats at Starbucks.

Third Activity: Play with toys at Target.

Fourth Activity: Shop for a muffin mix.

Fifth Activity: Make "Happy New Years" cards for the neighbors.

Sixth Activity: Bake chocolate chip muffins for neighbors.

Seventh Activity: Groom the dog and take her for a walk while the muffins are baking.

Eighth Activity: Taste test the chocolate chip muffins.

Ninth Activity: Walk over to the neighbor`s house and give them the treats & cards.

Tenth Activity: Eat icecream and feed bread to the ducks at Lake Goodwin Park.

  Eleventh Activity: Get coloring pages at the Stanwood Public Library & visit the Griffins.

We had a great day full of activities and I don`t think the kids missed their electronics once. Well...maybe Caitlyn was wondering how many texts that she missed from her friends. Did Evan mention his video games once or twice? Maybe once.

Happy New Year 2014!!

                                        We thank God for another great year!
                  Wishing all of our friends and family a very blessed New Years 2014.
