You make due with what you have

When you're a single parent, you improvise. When you live in a city apartment, you improvise.

When I got home from work, N wanted to play with water balloons - "right now". But I had to make dinner. He was not impressed (even though he was hungry) so I improvised.


Now dinner is over and he is already clean and in pjs! 

The boys do play with water balloons a lot in our building's back yard but I have to be there with them. I needed to start dinner so we'd have time for more play before bed. This was a work around that worked for all of us.
