He spends a lot of time outside playing in the sand box. We go feed the ducks a lot. Go to the park. Do arts and crafts. Spend time learning letters and numbers. He is 3. We go to the indoor swimming pool. Stuff like that.

Swimming is the big thing this year :-). I also work out at the y and the girls go to the child watch. They are in different rooms and they love it! They ask to go, which makes md get off my butt and work out. 2 hours and we all do our own thing ( my kids are 5&2 1/2). It seems to make our evenings a bit more peaceful since we aren't together 24/7.

The neighbor's pool. No lie, they invite the kids over every day. We play outside, watch movies, do art stuff, etc.
