Yes I had them playing in the back garden. No tv, no tablets. I think they thought it was the Dark Ages 🙂 But they enjoyed themselves.

Ha!! At least give them a lantern so they can see in the mines. 🙂 Perhaps they’ll discover Balin’s tomb.
Some friends who have three kids also had your broken TV situation. They built lots of forts with the sofa cushions and read a ton of library books.

Yes we were playing out in the back. James was defending an upturned bench and kid’s tractor that he called the Alamo!
Imagination is exciting and free 🙂

It is! Glad James defended the Alamo. It certainly needed defending. 🙂
