We'd already been swimming... half an hour after we get home it's forgotten about. I don't think I should provide non-stop entertainment, they need to be bored occasionally to learn to think for themselves.

God it's a slow process though!

Oh yes... school hols are far longer whne you are the adult! Find something to occupy the 9 year old, I always find that they suddenly think of something to do when you offer to find something for them. Especially if your finds include tidying /hoovering or similar " yr od should then settle down a bit and 10 month old can sleep. Then have yourself a coffee and 5 minutes peace!

Yesterday Dd1 told me she was bored at about 10am-ish, she ended up in tears three seperate times from being naughty, I scalded my fingers in spilling the kettle, looks like Dd2 is coming down with something, found an ants nest outside the back door, yep it's the holidays.....
