Although, it still feels like summer majority of the day, I love that we’ve been getting rain showers every now and then. There’s something about this season that makes me want to just stay indoors and lie down. On the other hand, it’s the perfect time to get up and bond with my kids and husband. Just because it’s drizzling outside doesn’t mean we could not have fun anymore. I have been really busy lately, so I can’t wait to do my favorite things with the fambam.
1. The family that cooks and eats together, stays together!
When it’s not pouring, we love to play basketball and do other physical activities. When it’s wet outside like the past few days, I make time to prepare some snacks, we’d eat together and catch up on stories instead. We love cooking as much as we love eating! Strangely, I noticed that the rain somehow has an effect to their appetite (even in mine, haha!).
2. Nights of cuddling and movie marathon
Cold nights can be different and extra special. Our three boys love to stay in our bedroom. We’d stay up late in our bedroom playing board games and watching our favorite movies together. Sounds very cozy and entertaining at the same time. Even though they are already getting bigger than me, they’re still my babies. We love to cuddle until they fall asleep in my arms.
3. Teach ‘em young, bond while doing house chores
It’s good to sometimes get their minds of their gadgets, you now? Kids nowadays get bored easily and get hooked to technology. I take the opportunity, when they couldn’t go out because it’s raining, to teach them to be responsible at home. I make it a point that they get involved in household chores somehow. It’s not that easy, especially having three boys. I let them clean their rooms, wash dishes and do the laundry.
They used to complain about our clothes smelling “kulob” when I started training them. But now that we have Downy, which helps garments stay fresh-smelling, they basically do as I say.
Indeed, we will not run out of things to do this rainy season.
