Good and Bored
I love when our boys get good and bored; that is when all the fun happens. We don't live in a neighborhood, so there aren't other kids to fill that space. Its just the two of them and their creative minds. Like most kids, they have Wii and Xbox, toys and sports equipment. But many times they hunger for something more. The good stuff.
Today, they covered pvc piping with foam pipe insulation, wrapped with painters tape - all purchased with their own money (a whopping $10.) They strapped on random skateboarding and football pads and went at it. Ta Da! Indoor jousting was born! The rules (and the name) are still in development, but its already been plenty of fun.
When my guys get good and bored, they are at their best. We are currently the proud owners of a huge plane built of cardboard boxes and duct tape (it really flies!), a pvc cannon, and a grappling hook, all born out of boredom. Over the years, they have created a myriad of contraptions, built numerous forts (indoors and out), and filmed hysterical movies together. Our best days started out as some of the most boring.
I never pictured living in a home where I had to step over inventions crafted out of recyclables or recipes for fake blood, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! |
