Two of 5 ways to survive and have fun with your kids
Sounds great if your child is potty trained, but what if one of your children is under 3? Don't forget that diaper bag and snacks for the park. Remember the snacks, always. You get hungry and grumpy after working out, so do the kids. Pack apple slices, raisins, water, juice, crackers, animal cookies, and string cheese. Lot's of options and the kids will be happy when you drive home.
Some other ideas for play dates:
Library, go for a walk, bike ride, jogging stroller, and movies.

Five of 5 ways to survive and have fun with your kids
The next day we tackled my second project and we washed the dog. We put on the swimsuits again and my 2 year old got to hold the hose. My 4 year old put shampoo on the dogs and I scrubbed. My 2 year old got distracted and started watering the lawn again. Great, it needed it. I was so happy to knock off two items off my list. My only frustrations was that I didn't have time to think of more projects we could accomplish together. I'm sure you have projects around your house, take the time to have fun as a family. The next time it's time to wash the car or dogs, your kids will be pros.
