I think the boring comes in because we're going from on go-go-go trip and then waiting for another. It's hard to adjust back to the slow pace in between. Then there were the smokey days when the Waldo Canyon fire was burning full force; then there's the heat. Normally in Colorado there's about a week or 2 when all you want is air conditioning, the rest of the time is bearable. This summer, we're still waiting for the bearable period (we don't have ac).
So, back to my story, between smoke and heat we have not been outside as much as normal. plus, factor in that one child doesn't take a nap and wants to be non stop all day, while the other takes 2 naps; we don't have much time.
This is where the boredom, stir craziness seeps into our day. I am in love with pinterest (don't know what it is? You should). That site has given me so many out of the box ideas for arts, crafts, science projects, home decor, food recipes, etc. We've done volcanoes, painting with straws,
exploding a snack bag, sticking pencils through bags of water without having them leak, and the ever famous play dough. This was all in one day (just kidding, kind of)

Another break from the boredom is Ethan's karate. They had an awards banquet last week where my dude got an award for courtesy and for being the youngest student at the school!
Wish me luck, we have a little over a week till our next big adventure. I need it to go slow so that I can be ready with all our gear, but fast so that the kids don't send me to the nut house.
