Why do the best revelations come to us in the shower? Yesterday I realized that our home life is pretty boring - I wonder if my boys think childhood is about doing what needs to get done, doing what they're told and only fun happens when they're playing Wii or with their toys on their own... Suddenly "It's a hard knock life" song from the Annie movie is playing in my head - only replace "hard knock" with "bor-ing"! For those of you not familiar with the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KOpU6YqnBY
So I've decided to step the humour factor up a notch or two around here. Anyone have suggestions on how to achieve this - what do you do with your children to keep the mood light and make them laugh? Life gets so busy, we often forget that our children need to laugh - heck WE ALL do - for our health! Unfortunately, I can't read "Damn You Auto Correct" clips to my children - but at least I know where to turn when I need a good laugh!

hey cori! For fun around here, we like to make up silly songs about one another. we always end up laughing and it is one of the funniest activities. Craig and I are always in tears. We started doing this around the camp fire when we go camping and now it is one of the kids fav. things to do! Laughing burns alot of calories! lol It`s fun to hear what the kids come up with. It alows there imaginations to go crazy. We also like to make up stories as well.
