LOL!! Sounds like ME!

We live in a tiny, 900 square foot house with a gigantic back yard. My kids know that if they don't want to go outside, DON'T run in the house! The minute they start running, I shove them outside to either ride their bikes, or pick up limbs in the yard or just to play.

I may keep it short is the temp is in the teens or hundreds.

;-D

When my children were younger they would sometimes complain about being bored. Me being in tune with their delicate rise to selfhood and their need for empowerment. Gave this sympathetic reply.
" Find something to do or I will find something for you to do". And you know, funny thing they usually always stopped being bored at that point.
