Welcome February

That’s true Gem the eldest entertains the twins they adore her, she role plays and the children love it , mealtimes are a bit chaotic all having different, but we tried spreading it out over 3 days it was a long week. I put we had the kids 3 dys half term but it’s 2 like you , why would I add more lol

In some ways it is easier to have all 4 of mine together, even though there's a 10 year gap between the oldest and the youngest. They all get on well together, which is great, and as long as I wear earplugs it's fine!

But this coming week is going to be busy. It's normal Monday and Tuesday with the girls, plus dog training Tuesday night. Then on Wednesday we're going up to DS1's to look after the boys for 2 nights. Their mum will be in India for work, and Dad has to leave at 6 am on Thursday to go to Guernsey. In theory he should be back Thursday night, but at this time of the year flights often can't take off because of fog/mist etc. Plus someone has to take GS2 to his piano lesson Thursday evening, and I'm sure Bailey the BC will enjoy Eva's company!

No idea what's happening for half-term yet!

Daisy 😱😰😳 I am not worthy !!!!!

Qwerty - it's only one week, and the boys will be at school all day Thursday, so it's not hard work. GS1 has a taxi to and from school and GS2 is close enough to his school to walk, so we don't even have to do the school run. GS2 is good about getting on with his homework, and GS1 does his at school, so it's really just feeding them and having a chance to spend a bit of time with them.

You are a veritable wonder Grandma Daisy.

Plant - you're making me blush. It really is relatively easy - they're at an age when they're fairly self-sufficient, and definitely don't want Grandma fussing round too much. Feeding them is the hardest thing - I never have ideas for dishes that they will both eat!
