Last year my friend Randi organized this thing called "kid swap" the idea was simple, families would be organized into groups 4 families in each group, once a week all of the kids would go to one persons house and have different activities while the other moms would get a chance to run errands or sit alone in her quite house. It was a win-win. The moms loved having a short break and the kids loved doing fun activities with each other. so we did it again this year.
This year we were in a group with the swendsens and Willards. We tried to have a ocean theme. We made paper plate Jellyfish and for snack we strung fruitloops onto pipe-cleaners and shaped them into fish. we aslo had some bead work going on as well as water activities
we love to play people bowling with my big exercise ball and we added a fun twist by having everyone fill a cup with water and putting it on their heads, always a favorite.
These little guys had the best time just hanging out in the pool. no structure needed for these three.
Charlie just loves being in the thick of things. as long as he is around people he is happy.
the girls had the most fun making our paper plate jellyfish. they boys were content having a water fight... anyone who says boys and girls are the same should come hang out with us.
overall I think it was a successful kid swap.
