somewhat simple: the "Mom, I'm Bored" jar: "By about the second week of summer, moms all over the world have one thing in common- we are all sick and tired of the age-old phrase, 'Mom,..."
I love this idea and have made my own version for the Summer Holidays that start on Friday this week !
Here is the jar I made for my family to enjoy this summer, I adapted the Boredom Buster ideas to suit my children and added a few of my own, I also decided to go for an 'Ideas Jar' as I am not too keen on the word 'bored'!

Sports Day
The coolest, windiest day we've had for about a month and it had to be sports day, not an overly exciting afternoon - we have 'non competitive' sports days now (whatever that means...)and this year was particularly uninventive but my 8 year old seemed to be bouncing around the pitch a lot so I guess he was enjoying himself...the best bit of the afternoon was Dolores' gorgeous cream scones that she was selling to raise money for School Funds ...I brought some home for after tea, much to J's annoyance - he'd have been happy to scoff the lot on the way home from school...and now at 7:45pm the sun has come out and it is a beautiful evening...typical !

Crafty-ness
Martha and I made some really cute containers using a cup as a mould and yarn covered in PVA
I made the patchwork bag for the most recent Craft Fair, very pretty.
Playdough fun
We can not resist playing with the lovely squishy stuff, everytime I make a batch for a Fair we all sit together at the table playing with the left over dough like a class of nursey kids, it's great...you are never too old, it is also very good stress therapy!
Catching up
Hi, the weeks are flying by so quickly, only two weeks of school left for the kiddlies...last Sunday's Craft Fair went really well, a lovely sunny day too!
Have finally had time to finish the baby blanket I was working on, that was posted off this morning, Martha has been pestering for me to get on with her cardigan again, which I really must do - as well as Joe's blanket and have just ordered fabric for a new skirt for number one daughter....
Anyhow, here are some photo's of all the bits and bobs we've been up to lately!
