The other day, Anton and his friend were lounging around the house. They couldn’t find anything to do despite having done everything already. Instead of just telling them to go play, we decided to help by organizing a scavenger hunt for them to enjoy.
It turned out to be a great idea! The boys were excited to explore and complete the scavenger hunt, including finding items like an ice cream truck. They happily spent an hour outside, giving us some much-needed peace and quiet at home.
Cute dog
Flowers
Funny license plate
Something that looks interesting! (Side note: Is everyone in NYC twinning rn???)
The boys happily wandered around outside for a full hour, while our house remained blissfully quiet. Thank you to our brilliant sitter Marit for this stroke of genius!
