I may be about to put Crafty out of business by posting this link but it is a risk I'm willing to take if it will save us all from a month or two of piteous cries of "I'm boooooooored."
Gina at an unpink life cooked up 150 things you can do during the summer with your kids. And, no, none of them involve my favorites like "rub Mommy's feet" and "get Mommy a beer." Shucks.
One of my faves is pictured at right, which is building fairy houses. No, not every last idea on the list will fit your particular circumstances -- like camping outside isn't going to fly around here -- but there are enough that should work for anyone.
Or we can start our own list here. Anyone?
