Kid Fun....the cheap way.

Here is a fun thing to do with your kiddos ( 2 and up) that for some reason they LOVE!!!

The next time you are at the park,beach,or your nearest rock quarry ( ha!)..( if your kids are anything like mine, they love to pick-up and collect rocks)...have them find the smoothest , lightest colored rocks they can and then haul them home with you.

Spread down some newspaper or other means of protecting your furniture ( or better yet , just have them sit on an old sheet in the yard), get out some washable paint or markers , and let them paint/color the rocks!

Olivia worked on this task for about an HOUR yesterday !  I am not lying.. a full hour.  She painted,admired, re-painted,  admired, and then finally re-painted her rocks until she was satisfied. 
Mama's reward:  I got 2 loads of laundry started, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, AND took a shower.  ( the little man was taking his am nap).  Nice!

Have fun!!!!
