Creative Chaos

My biggest worry while at home with my kids (besides figuring out what to cook and how to cook it!) is trying to keep them entertained.
I don't mind the cleaning and tidying up, in fact I see it as a sort of challenge trying to create order out of chaos. I feel a sense of panic when one of the first things Henrik asks me in the morning is what we're going to do today and when am I going to play with him in his room? I don't know. I haven't a clue.
We should be doing something which stimulates their minds while at the same they'll grow up thinking they have a great dad and what fun it was to be at home.
But my mind comes to a standstill. I can think of a hundred things and at the same time nothing at all. So when I answer Henrik's question it's usually with: "Eeeh..."

On Friday we tried being artistic. I taped some paper to the floor and we all had a hand in trying to not let any white paper show through. I think this picture describes what it's like at home at the moment.

Vilken fantastisk ide att lägga ut papper och täcka allt!! Tror inte du ska vara så orolig att du inte hittar på tillräckligt. Jag tycker det låter myckte fantasifullt det du gör - dessutom tror jag det är bra för barn veta hur det är att ha det lite tråkigt ibland! =)
