[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is my kids don't want to spend time with me!  They'd rather be hanging out with their friends (all of whom are on vacation out of town) and, as tweens, they have been to brookside garden, the trains, and every museum in town millions of times.  While I'd love to go to the Baltimore Aquarium for the day with them, they don't want to go because it's "boring."  Being home with tweens is a loooooong break that requires lots of creativity to bond with them without going nuts; I'm not up for a Suite Life With Zack And Cody marathon every day but I suck it up to connect with them on their level.  Any other ideas?  There are not a lot of movies out that are particularly appropriate for them, we've ridden bikes outside in the freezing cold, baked, and now i'm out of tricks![/quote]

Good old fashioned board games. Or teach them some of the "adult" card games like canasta or gin.

Do one per night. My older tween moans and groans when it is time to put away the video games and join the family, but five minutes into it he is having a blast.[/quote]
