Winter is upon us gentleman!
I happen to like the cold weather and the occasional snow dusting we get on western Kansas, but I have 3 young ones that dread winter as days get short and playing outside is not suitable for long periods of time and my kids or any kid need A LOT of playtime.
So being stock at home with the kids is a challenge, throw on top this pandemic that limits socializing and my wife and I decided we want to keep screen time as low as possible.
We come up with activities to keep the family entertained as board games (my 8 year old boy is a total nerd so him and I started getting serious at chess!) painting (my 1 year old daughter loves painting, such a mess everywhere! ) and card games (my four year old boy scares me when bluffing at poker!)
Anyways, I love when I see in my kids faces how the little hamster inside their brains gets the wheel going and not just numbed with television and video games, and we get to tighten the family relationships while at it.
How do you spend your time with your families? How do you guys make it quality time?
