to have no idea what to do this weekend?

[mellowbird]

i just can't think of anything....on my own with 3 boys,11,6 and 4...not much money,no inspiration and weather prob going to be wet...ideas anyone?

Splashy walk with wellies, waterproofs and umbrellas? Always makes my boys in a better mood, and will concentrate on something (rather than beating each other up!) You could go armed with a list of things for them to find/spot.

Alternatively / additionally: make some buns (on your own, or with boys taking turns). Then ice/decorate them, or buy (if funds permit) some of those small tubes of writing icing. Another thing that my 2 enjoy - perhaps as we don't do it very often.

Get the 2 older ones to write a letter to a friend or relative, younger 1 draws a picture. Then off to post box (you never know they may get a reply!)

Are these any good? Reading back they seem a bit old-fashioned...

[mellowbird]

no,they are just the sort of things we do...feels a bit groundhog day for me just lately,the boys don't seem to mind,it's me that's getting bored!! thanks for your ideas : )

I'd definitely get them out for a bit rain or no rain! The earlier the better.
Local park, waterproofs.

Does your local cinema do those £1 10am kids shows? though maybe too childish for the 11 yr old.

dancing to music.

computer game/games console session.

Dvd and popcorn.
