We're too poor to buy anything extravagant to play with in the backyard, they have a few beach balls, a kiddie pool and big wheels. I'm not sure what to do with them in the backyard. The closest playground is about 2 miles away, I just want some ideas for outside the house. Doesn't matter what I try to distract them with, they both want to run in opposite directions. I have to say I'm not very imaginitive.


Answer
sidewalk chalk, blowing/popping bubbles, water play in pool (add things that sink & float, cups, strainers, ice cubes etc), digging in sandbox or dirt, collecting leaves/rocks/sticks, hunting for bugs, picking flowers/weeds, running through sprinkler or spraying hose, washing play dishes/dollies or doll clothes/toy cars, driving Tonka-type trucks or pushing dolls in stroller (toy or cheapy umbrella type), running around the house as fast as they can or X number of times, watching birds/squirrels, looking for shapes in clouds, drawing letters/numbers/shapes in sand/dirt/with sidewalk chalk, jumping off low stumps/rocks, practicing climbing up/down stairs if you have any, practicing walking backwards or standing on one foot, moving like animals (bird, bunny, snake, kitty), building a play fort/tent out of chairs & blankets, tea party/picnic, games like Red Light-Green Light, Hokey-Pokey or Simon Says (although it will be another year or so before they really understand the rules!), throwing balls or bean bags into buckets or baskets...

A bag of play sand is really cheap...if you can't buy or build a box, a kiddie pool would work. Ride on toys and trikes are a great way to burn energy also...check thrift store or garage/yard sales for bargains. :-) Have fun!

What is the craziest/funnest thing you've ever done in your life?

And did this happen when you were young, High School/college, or as an adult? (I just have all kinds of weird questions brewing in my noggin haha)


Answer
The craziest thing I have ever done was a wet t-shirt contest in Daytona on spring break my senior year of high school. I had sex in a bathroom at Disenyworld when I was 20. My boyfriend had his shoes off, and this little kid asked his dad why the man in the stall had his shoes off, and the dad said never mind that son.....lol.

The funniest thing was when I was on a class trip to a school for the mentally handicapped, I slipped on the wet floor by the pool, and all the mentally handicapped kids pointed and yelled RETARD RETARD, and they were laughing at me. It was so funny. Also one time at the beach me and my friends would run down the beach and then when we got close to people we would fall down and act like it was accident. Also, one time we put dog poop in a couple purses and we took the purses to Walmart and burger king and gave them to employees and told them we had found someone's purse. When they opened it up to look for the person's ID they would get all grossed out. It was soooo funny at the time. Now I'm old and think it's gross, but it was funny when I was young.

I just remembered another thing. When I first got married my husband and I went camping. We bought a tent, that was on sale. When we set it up it was just this little tiny tent. So my husband and I had had to sleep with our feet and legs sticking out of the tent. The camp ground was crowded with people, so the next morning when we woke up this little kid was just standing by our feet. He said my tent is bigger then your tent, and then he just ran away.
