More keeping the kids busy while dining out or waiting in line

I love these Little Dover books.  At about 4x5 inches, they are small enough that I can keep a few in my purse as a surprise for impromptu meals at a restaurant or waiting in line or even waiting at the doctor's office.  They are hard to find.  I have seen a rack of them at Cracker Barrel.  They are on Amazon for only 1.35! They ship for free with a 25.00 purchase.  Once you are on Amazon look around, there are many titles to choose from.

rainy day ideas to keep the kids occupied

My 6 year old son loves all of the Home Alone movies.  He has been a fan since the age of 4.  I originally ordered this boxed set because my son really enjoyed watching Home Alone I and Home Alone 2.  Much to my surprise, 3 and 4 were also hits with him.  He has watched them over and over again.
I highly recommend ordering this boxed set of all four movies on DVD today and stowing it away for a rainy day movie.  Don't forget to have some movie candy and microwave popcorn on hand to add to the fun.  What movies do you recommend for rainy days?

Regularly 29.99 on sale for 16.88.  Amazon prices can change quickly, so don't wait.
