I've got four children under 6 for the weekend and my husband has gone away...

[enid]

...and I am still alive! I have my two dds (4 and nearly 2) and am looking after my friend's two boys (6 and 2) until Monday. And dh went to London on Friday and isn't back until Sunday night.

And I quite like having four! Help, I might have to have another baby.

and you still have tims to tll MN about it!
I bet it's wonderful mad chaos at yours, how lovely, carry on having fun.

Dont fancy another 2 girls to add to your happy crew do you?!

why not! the more the merrier I say. Actually its been knackering (in fact one of them is on my lap as I type - dd2 is a bit poorly), but its been SO NICE to have a completely child-centric weekend - and you have to when you've got four, there's none of this trying to do housework/work/shopping foolishness

Oh good ill post them shall I?!
Actually I had my dds (3+6) and my baby cousin whos 11 months the other day and I didnt move off the floor in the kitchen for 4 and a half hours(Lots of peek a boo etc) It was torture, I couldnt just totter off and do anything, I had to keep an eye on him for ALL THAT TIME. i dont know how I ever had 2 babys, it confimed the idea I didnt want any more!

Yes, 11 months is harder - these are all very self sufficient and I am finding it easy as they all PLAY TOGETHER!!!!!! The only time they want me is for food - normally my two are very demanding of my attention and this weekend they have all just disappeared into the garden and played - lovely!

Sounds it you wont know whats hit you when the boys go home and your two are back round your ankles! Enjoy it while you can! Sounds like you are having a lovely time.

Fancy opening Babe-ington House type establishment for the discerning under sevens, Enid? You'd make a fortune.
