So on really hot days, how do you help them burn energy when they cannot get outside?

swimming, splash pad, run through the sprinklers.  Build a fort in the living room.  Maybe even let them jump on the bed if I'm feeling crazy.

It was extremely hot here two weekends ago, I hung thick blankets over the drapes in my room, closed the doors and it was black as tar in there. I sent the kids in there and they played "monster" in there for HOURS. It was crazy. With zero sun getting in it also ended up being the coolest room in the house. The game is for one person to escape the monster. Pretty simple haha  It would be deathly quiet while one tried to elude the other by crawling over the bed, under it, hiding in a corner, etc and then you'd hear a huge roar and hysterical laughter when the monster found their victim. You can't see a darn thing so it's actually a pretty decent adreniline rush.

it has been soo hot here and humid - with the heat index it was 105 yesterday.  We are either in the pool or finding cool things to do in the a/c!!! Luckily they all love the pool so most of the day has been in there and once they are in the pool they are get along wonderfully!!

On the days Ds gets up early we play on his splash pad in the back yard till the shade is gone. Last night we bought a stop watch, because Ds has been asking for one, and he loves to see how much stuff he can do in a minute. (ex. how many jumping jacks, how many spins, how fast can he pick up things) He also likes to play boat, which is where he runs around than I call out an animal and he has to run to the boat. Then we look up info about the animal on the internet, so combining fun with education.
