We were all feeling a little off... rushed, irritable...so we took a week to get grounded. That means, we slow way down, take care of ourselves, do not schedule any extras, no playdates, and we take a techno break, so no screentime. That week, our praying manthis hatched. We had about 75 babies to feed. I think they waited for us to be grounded, because if we were rushing around as usual, we may have had a hard time catching enough insects to feed them...
The kiddos rediscover "together time". They dug out the art supplies, and enjoyed creating together. 
Of course there was time to get naked and go swimming.
The Brio trains have not been out of their chest in years...but the kids had a fun time making a layout together.
The Lincoln Logs can't compete with video games, but when the video games are away....The week had us reading every night, playing games together, talking, getting to bed on time, eating healthy, talking at meals, doing things together, and being peaceful together. The kids had a chance to reconnect. We felt great by the end...we love getting grounded...
