- Please print out a pizza mad lib for each of you and take turns filling it out. Who wins for the silliest story?
- When art meets science in ooey gooey oily art the giggles will come naturally.

Do you have any silly activities to add? We especially love simple activities.
We all hold hands around the dinner table when the boys say “Mouses coming” and are quiet then they say “mouses all gone” and we carry on eating! (Really cheesy… We saw a mouse one night outside and that’s where they got the idea!)
