for sonia=amuse the kids!

January 1, 2001

drop them off with me I'm great at amusing kids! lol or maybe try

turning the electricity off? lol that'll get them outside! I think it is

getting pretty sad that the kids would rather play a computer game than go

outside and play! me I was a big tree climber and tadpole catcher! lol do

they still have tadpoles? lol, sorry to hear of your dilemma, I gave my

neices and nephews (around the same age) a big moving box the other day and

some colouring in utensils and told them to make a cubby together, they

seemed happy enough with that for an hour or so! dress ups takes time too!

play dough that can be cooked to make little ornaments? (tried that too lots

of fun! pots and fridge magnets and cups that leak! *lol*) make biscuits

with funny faces (icing sugar and face impliments) they can eat thier

creations when they are done! really I think the aim is to amuse the oldest

cause the others will almost always follow the lead! I took care of a bunch

of kids on my holidays last week! and those are the sort of things we did!

(3,4,5,7,8,9,13 year olds!) tramplolines are the best invention you can sit

and pretend to be so interested while they all show you their tricks! and

that can take hours! and all the time your getting a tan! *lol* (hope

something here helped?)
