Happy Monday!\u00a0 I hope the weekend weather was as fabulous for your family as it was for ours.\u00a0 Here’s a few ways to have some fun with your kiddos this week….<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Challenge the kids to make each other laugh as much as possible.\u00a0 Try for all out belly laughs, snorts and the type of giggles where you can’t catch your breath.\u00a0 If you can, catch it on tape to make you all laugh all over again later.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Throw a dinner party just for your family.\u00a0 Put out the good china and some delicious appetizers, set the table grandly and dress the part.\u00a0 Put on some music, light some candles and take your time enjoying your own company together.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Turn some old stuffed animals into puppets<\/a> and put on a puppet show.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Take a ride on a bus, train, subway or other mode of transportation that is out of the ordinary for your child.\u00a0 It’s amazing how magical even a city bus can seem to a little person who hasn’t ridden one before!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Go hang out at a local science center or museum.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Make lunch in miniature — make tiny sandwiches, itsy bitsy salads, miniscule cookies and so on.\u00a0 Serve on tea party dishes and have seconds (and thirds and fourths…).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Write something random and silly halfway down the toilet paper roll and then roll it back up again.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Take advantage of what’s left of summer and head to the beach.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Write a letter to your child and slip it under her pillow.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

10. Host a new food picnic.\u00a0 Ask each guest to bring one dish that’s unusual and tasty.\u00a0 See how many delicious new dishes you can discover, and just plain have fun.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And with that, my dears, I’m off to pack for an overnight visit to Grandma and Grandpa’s and a park date with some fabulous friends.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Have a magical week!\u00a0 Don’t forget to take care of you!
