To kick off Summer Vacation this year, I decided that Mark and I would get the kids their own boredom buckets. I have seen a similar idea/tradition that a friend of mine that does this with her family each Summer. I thought it was a cute idea and wanted to do our own. For the kids Boredom Bucket, I filled them with treats, water toys, new beach towels and Workbooks to keep the kids on track still for school this next year. Kaleb and Karmindy were thrilled with their buckets and have used them quite a bit this summer already. We also got the kids a new sprinkler that they could run through. They have used the sprinkler a lot and have enjoyed having the new things to look forward too. It has definitely helped me out this summer. Whenever I hear they are bored, I just refer them to their buckets and tell them to go and play with something out of their bucket. It has been a huge life-saver and has cut down on the "I'm Bored's!"
