    Visiting from SITS. Thank you for the rainy day list. My favorite was the pj day. The girls changed in to fresh pajamas and had an indoor daytime non slumber party. Enjoy your dad.

    Here from SITS. I LOVE free printables. So your section on printable games is awesome. And, okay, I have to admit that I don’t have grandchildren yet, nor do I have any children left at home. BUT, my husband and I are still young at heart and still like to “play” on our friday night dates. So, we’ll definitely be using some of your games.
    Good luck in all you’re doing. AND … kudos to your husband for being willing to post a picture of himself with your son in costume! My husband never cared what anyone thought when it came to playing with our children. It’s so refreshing to see that. Not every father is willing to be a little silly to make their kids feel great. But it’s worth it in the end. All three of my children adore my husband and I know it was his willingness to truly play with them. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for the inspiration! I’ve been having trouble keeping my toddler entertained on rainy days and we have just moved to a new area and don’t know anyone so playdates aren’t really happening yet but I can certainly use these ideas for our own amusement.
