Steve Wiley is Jackalope Ranch's Parent Hood. He's a slightly unorthodox father of five who will weigh in weekly with his mildly-rebellious views and observations. If you'd like to see how he came to write this column, watch the intro video. This week he weighs with three things to do with your kids over break.
In just a few days, your kids are going to be home on Christmas break. All day long. In your house. Eating. Fighting. Slacking off. Eating (with two growing sons, I have to say "eating" twice). Making you slightly nuts.
If you don't want those two weeks to feel like two months, and you aren't one of those parents that lets electronic babysitters do all of your work for you, than you'd better find something to do with them.
Never fear, the ol' Parent Hood is here with three cool, relatively cheap (or free) ideas to get you and your wall-climbing children out of the house.
