Use your Imagination!

Ok, as summer is drawing to a close I am at a total loss as to how to amuse the kids. Let me give you a little background. I had the MOST creative inventive mom!! I had brothers with big imaginations, as I too had. So.. the problem? well I have exhausted my supply of childhood entertainment. I have done... hula hoop, jump rope ( did I mention that half the neighborhood got in on most of these activities??) volleyball, kick ball, tag, hide n seek, movie days, picinics, beach days, pool days, dessert night, playdoh outside, flashlight tag, Wii nights, puzzle nights, scrap nights, "feasts", walking to store to buy candy, sliding down the stairs on a blanket, playing with.... Build a bear, barbie, etc., U find it night ( kids "find" dinner, jammies, etc) Princess movie night, spa nights( my fave!) , having a fire with smores, puzzle night, snack night, going to the pool and beach, and just general summer fun. I am exhausted, and hopefully kids are too! I am open to suggestions of cheap family fun.... Happy Summer Everyone!!!
