AM on my own with DD's today and it is grim out. I am tired and really not in the mood for playing or cooking. So what to do with them?
Oh look, it is DD1's elephants birthday!
I had some 'ready made biscuit dough' [bleurgh] so they made 'biscuits' and then I melted chocolate in the microwave and let them stir in rice krispies.
That was the extent of my involvement
Crayons and paper - they drew invitations
Collecting soft toys from the house and lining them up for a photo
Bubbles
music (frrm laptop while I pause it every so often) for dancing
Then big paper plate of microwave plain popcorn, bics, rice krispie cakes, grapes, cut up sausages and cheese sandwichs
Jelly pots and icecream for pudding.
squash in paper cups with straws
prizes for games are a raisin.
Games are 'who can sit on the chair the fastest'
Who can jump the highest
Who can sit the stillest (elly won that)
NO washing up. No cooking. Mess is just soft toys which can be chucked in box after they have gone to bed.
Girls are exhausted and happy having had 'the BEST day EVER'
I am a genius.
