So much to do and so little time...

It can be a daunting task trying to keep two pre-schoolers and a toddler occupied and happy all day long while their older brothers and sister are in school. Today they colored pictures, played with play-dough and flubber, put on their swimsuits and ran through the sprinklers, dug up the flower bed and made mud pies with the neighbor kids, took a bath after being covered in mud, ate lunch, played Boggle Jr. and Dominoes, watched TV, played with their stuffed animals, got into their brother’s stuff and lost the key to his piggy bank and ate all his candy, played the computer, cleaned their room (with help), changed into different swimming suits (the first ones were wet and dirty), filled giant plastic storage tubs full of water and played in them (we really need to get them a kiddie pool), and then drank hot-chocolate with marshmallows (because they were cold after “swimming.”) Thank goodness they have pre-school tomorrow!
