1. BOARD GAMES- There are actually some good board games that I still like; Monopoly, Clue, Sorry, games like that.

2. IMAGINATION GAMES (4 year old)- Like playing House, Dress Up, Princess, etc.

3. STORIES- This includes reading books, or if you don't have any books, you can be interactive and make up a story, then have each child continue it themself. Like you can start it off: "There once was a little boy named Larry. Larry was a very bad little boy and never did anything that his parents told him. One day, Larry was riding his bike down the road and stopped in the forest next to it. This was a big mistake because..." and let one kid continue it for a little bit, say 5 minutes and then let the next go on.

4. CRAFTS- You can bring a really huge piece of paper to the house and some finger paints and brushes. Then have all the kids paint a mural. When it's dry, you can even hang it with tape in their bedroom. (Always paint on newspaper.) And, if the 12-year-old is a girl, you can make cookies or muffins with her with that Betty Crocker stuff (so it's not too involved).

5. MOVIES- I suggest: "The Incredibles" (I love this movie and never get tired of it), "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Finding Nemo", "Annie", "Ice Age", "Spy Kids", "Flushed Away", "Shrek 2", etc. I actually loved watching movies when I was babysat when I was younger. I really still love some of the movies I saw when I was nine!

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 2008! My name is Dana for those of you who don't know, and I obviously love to give advice, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I will pick at anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize their "I"'s or the beginnings of sentences. Proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. bcuz it Just loooks soooo sloppie when u type lyke this. So a word to the wise, and for the majority of you that it doesn't apply to, think about it, and watch yourself. Second of all, I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever write something that is not true. So therefore I am always right. So stand down and accept it. (Note: that also means that my "opinions" are actual facts. At least the ones I bother to write.)

Never ask me anything about how fat you are or love life. Cliched, I know, but I am heartless when it comes to the truth. If you don't know what to do with your cheating boyfriend that you still love, go ask someone else since I could not care less. Seriously.

Have a nice day!
Love,

My answers will be based on a preppy lifestyle. I am the clean, preppy sort, like the person who looks clean and classy and doesn't really notice anyone who isn't, regardless that some weirdos think that preppy people hate them. Also, if you wonder about the corrections on the answers I give, no worries; they're just simple corrections to those who don't know where to put a period, or that they have to capitalize the beginnings of sentences.
