[quote=Anonymous]My girls are 11 and 7. We live in downtown DC. They’ve been binging The Simpson’s ,trying various baking projects (today was a simple cheesecake), practicing violin and piano (the younger one loves to practice,for the older one it’s just cursory), walking the dog, family bike rides in the late afternoon or early eve), reading books (have to nudge them to do, but they both enjoy reading), tennis with each other or with us. We’ve had a couple of play dates but they haven’t been very successful (lots of tween girl drama that we’re trying to distance ourselves from but I think we just need to try other friends). We had a couple great days with friends who live near Annapolis — swimming in the south river, splashing through a creek), but I agree we shouldn’t be doing that much. What activities have been hits in your home? I should add that I’m not working full time at the moment so can handle kids more than I’m sure many parents now. Totally understand if your answer is more screen time![/quote]
