1. Dress Up For Dinner

It sounds kind of silly, but honestly, when is that last time you put on that gown? A wedding, event, ball? A fun and unique way to lighten up the evening is a fancy dinner party with you the family. Pull out the cute blazers or collared shirts and bow tie for the boys. Do your hair and slip on that sequin gown that hasn’t seen the light of day since your prom.

Make the evening extra special with some Flameless Candles in the center of the table and fold cloth napkins in an eye pleasing manner. Here is a tutorial on an easy napkin fold. Then top it off with the fancy champagne flutes you never use. Fill the kids with sprite or ginger ale!

2. Play Library

Ok, so we all know there is a plethora of books in the house. This is an opportunity to read them. However, this is a fun way to get the kids to read. One of our favorite fun activities for kids at home is to play Library.

I mean, the get really into it. Like up the books, make pretend Library cards and if your feeling up to it and the kids are old enough, try to throw in a Dewey decimal system lesson.

3. Match Box Car Course

Many of us parents of boys have a collection of match box or Hot Wheels cars stuffed in a drawer or tote. Yes, they do make a great deal of sets and courses. However, this is an opportunity to get creative and make your own. Grab some shoe boxes, blocks, paper towel roll tubes and whatever else you can find to make a course across the living room.
