2 mindees plus own 2 playing quietly, is it wrong to do a bit of tidying up/sorting out?

[S88AHG]

It just feels a bit wrong, but they are happily playing switching between nintendo ds and imagination games, drinks are on the side if they want them, they dont need me so I have tidied up Christmas catalogues, cardboard, and other bits. Do you think its ok?

Thanks, they are older children too, they are 8, 7, 7, 4 so its not like they need "watching" and if they ask for something, play doh etc, I would just stop what I was doing and sort it out, they are back to school on Thursday, so I dont think they need to be avidly reading/writing/drawing, as that will start when they go back to school.

ive had my own 2 (8 and 12), and 2 mindees (7 and 11) all day today. ive been tidying up as we go along. i wouldnt start doing the housework, but bits and bobs while they are occupied , i would say is ok. e.g we took the xmas tree down today and the room needed a quick vaccum where the tree had been.

ill have dd and one mindee tomorrow and were all taking the christmas tree down..going through all the decorations theyve hung on it, wrapping them up till next year, pulling a few crackers left over..fun for them, a must for me
