Dreary, Rainy Saturday

...equals kids stuck inside and out of control. And since we cut the cable, that makes it all that much more crazy. All of my plans for the day have been ruined by the rain,but we definitely need the rain to wash away all the pollen. I had planned on sending the kids across the street to our neighborhood park and then it would be nice and quite for studying and house cleaning since I'm overwhelmed by both of these. Instead, I have some fighting over the XBox (the 12 & 5 year olds), some sitting at the table drawing on construction paper and making some beautiful artwork. The 3 year old is running around telling everyone that they aren't his friend. And what am I doing? Nope,not chasing them around and stopping all the fighting....BLOGGING! It's going to be the one thing that keeps me sane, if only for 5 minutes.

What are some of your best rainy day ideas to keep the kids occupied, especially if you have work that needs to be done?
