summer is around the corner and kids already bored by the fact that summer is coming up!
Cleveland is heating up and my son turned from caramel skin color to dark chocolate in two days!!! he looks yummy but i don't want him turned charcoal by the end of the summer.
i told him you need to play in the shade, he said swing set is not in the shade, what if my skin gets dark? uh! nothing changes Ma! nothing!
he is right but I need plan B
I sit with my son who is graduating from kindergarten;) and ask him, what he wants to do in summer?
his face lit up and he started to think, and i took advantage of the situation and told him that he is not allowed to go out
before 6PM
he look confused, before he says anything i told him i am going to convert the basement for summer get away, you could invite your friends who wants to play and i don't have to bug you about the tanning, is that a deal? he got so excited and we started the list.
list contains indoor and outdoor fun combined.
