My kids get on pretty well together, but still how does one keep them all entertained - here's what we've been up to that has kept every one happy
1: New Norfolk park (Tyndwald) - a big safe space to ride bikes, kick a ball, roll in the autumn leaves, swing on the swings - there is something for everybody! My kids spent almost an hour timing themselves around a track - on the bike, walking, running, silly walks - we also had MapMyRun app on my phone so they could see their distance, speed, course and calopries burned!! It all made for interesting discussion!
2: Total Movie Experience - DVD's out, pop corn machine on, surround sound up, room darkened, feet up and everyone comfy - we even managed to find DVD's that held everyones interest!
3: make it - break it - wood + nails + hammer - go for it - why does everything have to look like a gun - even for your 3 year old sister!
4: play date - kind of obvious - but when I asked the kids what they could think of that they wanted to do in the holidays that was cheap - they said play dates and sleep overs (and mum and dad if you get rid of all of us you can have some time to yourselves!!) So thoughtful!
5: Cooking - there is always a job for everyone - even if it is just tasting!! Charlies effort icing a cake in front of my friend whose husband is an incredibly talented cake decorater left her laughing and on a sugar high!! How thick can you make sprinkles!!??
So what have your kids been up to??
