In-fact, kids build more and better (proper terminology right there o;-p) "warm fuzzy memories" from times in their lives when what we spent was our time, energies, and creativity on their behalf !!! They get that we are attempting to show them that we think they are worth something important - us investing ourselves in them. <br />I hope all of that makes sence.<br /><br />One year for a pirates themed B-day party we came up with a couple of ideas that are s-t-i-l-l talked about. #1 was sword fighting via bread sticks (which were purchased at the day old bread store). With one arm held behind their back, they fought their opponent using a bread stick like a sword. They couldn't hit each others body - just 'sword' fighting. They knew how fragile their 'swords' were and fought carefully. It was delightful to watch. #2 - they built their own ships using styraphome trays I purchased for five cents each at the meat dept., straws to hold the sails up, sails out of material scraps / paper towels / paper / etc. and boat decorations out of a variety of misc. stickers, colored tapes, etc. that I scrounged up around the house. Once all of the boats were completed, we walked the two blocks down to the local park by the river and set them sailing in one of the ponds in the park. Some went quite the distance, a couple went two inches and started sinking, ... Everybody in attendance found it great fun!!!Cheryl B.http://www.xanga.com/thehousethatlovebuiltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787681399151115706.post-11546206483636228972009-09-14T06:38:08.891-04:002009-09-14T06:38:08.891-04:00backyard birthday are the best . . . the absolute...backyard birthday are the best . . . the absolute best. those are the kinds our sons always got.Maria (also Bia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915816897999091636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787681399151115706.post-54782586682029199062009-09-14T06:37:37.708-04:002009-09-14T06:37:37.708-04:00What a great idea!
