What is the activity that you do when you don't have anything else to do or when you are putting off that thing you're supposed to do? My husband calls those "default activities".
Camille's is playing with Duplo blocks. She loves to build structures with these. I don't think any of my children have loved these as much as she does.
Mindy's is reading. We got to the library just about every week during the summer and Mindy gets a pile of books and makes her way through them. She recently read all the Harry Potter books and has recently discovered the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books. She also likes the books by E.D. Baker, the Mother-Daughter Book Club series, the Wings of Fire series, and more.
Talmage has different default activities. He will read but frequently he will work on magic tricks, especially with playing cards. He also likes the Rubik's Cube.
Susanna is a huge reader. We have to go to the library frequently just for her because she reads constantly. She loves fantasy but will read just about anything. I worry a little bit about the content sometimes but there is no way I can keep up so I just have to trust her to make good choices and stop reading a book if it's inappropriate.
I'm not sure what Everett's default activity is, but it's probably his phone. I wish it wasn't but sadly, it is probably also my default activity. I love to read but the problem with reading is you have to have a good book which can be a challenge to find AND it can't be so good that you can't put it down when you need to. That's why I started skipping to read the end of books. If I read the end, then I can put the book down before I'm completely done. I almost always go back to finish.
And Scott's? I have no idea. He is constantly so busy with all his different responsibilities and interests (work, family, church, running) that I'm not sure he has a default activity.
What's your default activity?
