Now,  it’s hard to get mad at that little cutie right there in the photo but lately (especially during Chrsitmas break- while I thought I was doing a excellent job at taking them fun places …) both my boys complain they are board at EVERYTHING.

I swear, we are driving down to the coast to see the seals that are all having babies and are on the beach-right there in front of them (hello in the middle of winter- what do they have to complain about???) and they say, I’m board (trust me I rather hear “Are we there yet” a million times more than “Im board!”).

We go to the famous San Diego Zoo and you hear, Im board….I can kinda sympathize with them on this one….how fun is it to watch the gorillas sit with his hairy back at you?

BUT people!!! I’ve just noticed this with the new generation. Kids just don’t really know how to entertain themselves….at least the ones I’ve seen??? It must be all the video games and face paced tv shows?

So lately I have been taking in all the tales my wonderful grandpa tells us about the time where there wasn’t all that junk aka video games and kids actually played outside, appreciated imagining things and were excited for that one special hour program they maybe got to listen to once a week.

My grandpa was telling us yesterday about began so excited to be able to listen to the “Lone Ranger,” “Little Orphan Annie” and my favorite “Baby Snooks.” He even told us exactly how they would introduce each show!

Christian and Carter both got super excited so I decided to get them the shows on cd! How fun with this be? I highly recommend you looking into getting your kids some stories on tape!  Im hoping it will open my kiddos mind to a playtime full of Indians, Detectives and all that old fashioned stuff! ;)
