What do you play with your kids???
I have such a hard time playing with my kids...My oldest never wants to do crafts and wants to play pretend Star Wars or Pokemon most of the time. I have managed to get them to do a "dance party" with me, where we put on music and dance around and play. This is something all of the kids can enjoy. I have an almost 7-year old, almost 4-year old, and a 16 month old. The boys like to play legos and blocks and trains, but the 16 month old is in a dive and destroy mode, and rather than play with them, I wind up trying to keep her from destroying everything.
What can I do? I am so looking forward to spring when we can all go out and run around, play catch, splash in puddles, go to the park and swing, etc., but for now, there's still snow on the ground with no thaw in the forseeable future.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I just don't know what to do with them. Before I had kids, I envisioned hours of craft projects, and that never materialized with DS#1. Since having DS#2 and DD, I seem to have forgotten how to play with my kids. I would go into why I think this is, but that's a whole different post...Right now, I just need ideas that will work for our varied ages without too much hair-pulling!
