Bike rides around the neighborhood (it had been 15 years since I was on a bike, ouch)
Reading stories.
Playing with Crazy Sand and making new colors.
Playing Qixels (think fuse beads).
Making LEGO creations; here is another Minecraft one.
Watching SuperWhy and PG rated movies.
Having car races.
Going to the movies (for Jonathan and Antonio, to see Rogue One)
Minecraft and Lego Star Wars video games until they had horrible behavior and we took away all electronics for three days.
Painting in the bathtub (I brought in water soluble paint and paintbrushes, and they painted the bathtub, the tile on the wall, and each other. Then a very easy clean up after!)
Making and eating jello.
One brother creating mazes, the others doing them.
Train track creations.
Playing catch.
In a space of 10 minutes: Laughter. Yelling when no one listens to the adult. Hugs. Someone hitting someone else.
In other words, great family bonding!
Sounds like you made the most of Winter Break. So now that you've let out all that steam, are you all ready to return to the day-by-day???
