I sometimes find it difficult to find indoor activities to do with the kids that we all enjoy. Perhaps it’s terrible to say, but while I enjoy the happiness it brings, I do not enjoy endlessly reading Dr. Seuss books and their ilk.

I did try to read Coraline to Abby. The first few chapters went ok, but then she lost interest. I suspect that she wasn’t quite old enough for the book, although I don’t think that was the deterrent, since she seemed quite interested up until the point she lost interest.
Barring the book reading, both the kids and I like to play games; Though, Abby needs to learn to read on her own before we can play any of the really interesting games. I suppose that Mastermind, Connect Four, and chess aren’t out of the question, although they seem a bit advanced.

Isn’t anyone else tired of seeing the Technorati Top Ten in every top list on the planet? Yes, I know Boing Boing exists; you’d have to be living under a virtual rock not to know.
