I do not envy you... when we get together with my friend on the weekend we have 7-8 total all under 9 years but there are always 2-3 adults...that would DRIVE ME NUTS!!!!
-Does your local library have story time?
-Can you put in a a kids dance video? (or if you have on demand i think this is listed under "fitness"?)
-Simon says is your friend.
I'm sorry to hear about your niece. I will surely keep her and her family in my prayers. How long do you have her sibs for? |
All great ideas but A. I have no friends and B. live in the middle of the country with no local library.
Normally, I have my son and daughter around to help with the tube rescue but she has to help with her grandmother. I am picking my son up today so we may get to hit that on the way home. The 6 year old went home yesterday now I have just the 2 year old she is supposed to go home today. They said friday or sat and my dh quickly said no friday. The end is in sight...We have been putting on the radio and dancing and they love that. I got the christmas tree up yesterday so heaven help us I think we are going to try to decorate that today. It is mostly the unorganization the extra 2 have caused that is driving me nuts. My nieces have no discipline in their lives and boy does it show. We tell the 2 year old to pick up toys and she looks at you like you have 3 heads and are talking french. She now knows what time out is..lol.
