    I play with my kids, watch TV and take naps. But my favorite way to entertain myself is to irritate my wife with my activities.

      I like to take my kids on a nature hunt in my own backyard. We search for interesting looking insects and other creatures and the children really love it and don't even realise that they are learning.

          play monopoly

          Play boardgames like monopoly with your family. The best way to spend time at home. It does sometimes end up in fights and tears but at least the time passes by quickly

                        We like to have a treasure hunt with the kids in the backyard, just using everyday household items.

                        Alternatively we sometimes go on a nature hunt for bugs and insects in the nearby park.

                          This is me too. I do a lot of surfing to see what all is out there. I look up stuff on ebay. I also play on my wii usually.

                            Somehow I find the trouble not in filling time, but in finding time!

                            Part of my life is stuffed with volunteering, something I enjoy and am glad to do, but it generally doesn't qualify as entertainment.

                            Too bad it doesn't though, it is fun, and very worthwhile. Usually pretty cheap too.

                              Definitely playing with the kids. You only get to invest time. And in return, you all have fun and you get to build lasting memories.
