I'm freaking out a little if I'm honest:panic:
On Tuesday and Friday I will have 6 children in, I plan to ship my own dd5 out to grandma and grandads on these days (top mum:thumbsup:) where she will be well looked after and spoilt rotten
But the other 5 vary so much in ages that I'm tearing my hair out thinking of ways to keep them occupied without the others being bored or overlooked
There is one 18mo, a 2 year old, a three year old and 2 five year olds. Helpppppp! There is an arts and crafts day at the local museum on the Friday but it says its aimed at children 3 and above and I'm worried the little ones might be bored
Also I don't drive so places like soft play areas etc are out. We do have 3 local parks so I'm hoping the weather is nice enough (yeah, right) to at least have an hour out
I also have a feeling I'll be spending this weekend spending my wages on masses of craft supplies, new toys and other things to keep them all from playing up or getting fed up

Tomorrow crafting and introduce the new dark den in the morning, then a nice long 20 minute walk into nearest town to Aldi to see if any goodies left!! My dd has an appointment in the library so we will be choosing some books whilst we wait. Then on Weds me and dd are going to the Trafford Centre and taking my 2 lo's for lunch at La Tasca!! Kids eat free this week
With every paying adult!! So good learning experience!! Then I'm off Thursday and Friday!!!
