Boredom Buster {ABC photo hunt}

UPDATE: Contest is now closed. Sarah D. had the last counting comment.

Last week Marci left the comment, “I bet your kids love their lives!! I would if I were them!!” I would now like to tell them daily…”if you were Marci you would love your life not grumble and complain.” I don’t think they care though. Maybe I will frame that comment for them to read. I could hang it in their room to look at when they are in time out…but only one of them can read. Oh well.

It has been too hot to be outside during the afternoon so I’ve been working on random things to entertain the kids. This week we did a Photo Hunt for the ABC’s. My youngest son was asleep, but he would have liked it too. The 6 year old had to look for words that started with the different letters. The four year old had to find words that started with the letter or just find the letter. They both had cameras and I followed them around – yes, we have a lot of cameras in this house.

They started in the ‘work in progress’ playroom with their sister. I don’t think I have to point out how much she enjoyed their complete attention on her.

We went from room to room searching for our letters. I was impressed with what all the boys came up with.

Once we made it downstairs and found a box of Legos the remaining R-Z became creations out of Legos. The whole point was to stay busy, so I didn’t really care. I was surprised with the deep thinking that went into Biggest Brother’s items. I can’t find the cord to download his pictures onto my computer, which is a bummer. He had some really creative stuff.

The boys had a lot of fun with this and it reinforced learning – which I am a bit partial to. Their favorite was photographing their sister. I can’t blame them. If you noticed the “B is for Beautiful” onesie she is wearing…yes that was intentional. I am doing a Reader Etsy Store giveaway today! The onesie is from the store Jig. The only drawback to this store is that there are WAY too many options to choose from (check out this one for twins…hilarious). I especially appreciate some of the boy designs. It is hard to find boy stuff that isn’t corny, Jig has some GREAT options. I am pretty sure I am going to have to order a certain one I keep thinking about for my 4 year old. Here is FireCracker in her jig duds. When you look at the store…ask to see ALL the design options…they aren’t all shown in the store.
