    going with the flow - mine are 18m and just 2 so hopefully outdoors in garden and walks round our farm and woods.

    Ordered lots of paint and paper from ELC - that should come soon, so some messy creative times.

    Got a few days with another CMs mindees as she is off - they are 3 and 5 so might take them somewhere - don't really feel the need though when we can explore our own farm

    A trip to the seaside at Brighton may be in order too
    Happy to be back with the Greenies

    I am going with the flow. I never know what hours my 2 year old is doing until the saturday before, so will then perhaps think about plans for the week. I have some after schoolies for some days, and have ideas on what to do with them. We have a nice park near to us, that has added lots of equipment for older children, so will be spending some time there with a picnic if the sun shines and perhaps the beach too

    Thought i would be in that horrid nursery for 6 weeks

    No plans as yet, although E seems to have lots going on with friends, she has a better social life than me

    Will more than likely have some days out as a family when hubs has a day off but just going to enjoy some time with E

    What I have planned really depends on if my car is mended any time soon

    The next two weeks of work we are hosting a picnic with other minders from the cm group, day out at the London Aquaruim, Black Park with another cm friend, park nearby which has Life Guarded Paddling Pools if the weather stays good.

    Then 3 weeks holiday, painting and decorating our newly extended house and moving back in. Can't wait. I will have a large playroom which opens onto the garden and a completly child free living room.

    The builders have been fab and the time from mid April has flown and been completely stress free.

    All of my Mindees apart from new start(she has beeen on holiday already) are off at some point over the holidays so I will only be working 2or 3 days per week We have decided to go (loosely) with our seaside/ holiday plans .
    All children send post cards and we look at them together on return and they tell us about where they have been etc . Sand pit has been a great hit this week, as has the new cover for our dark den (seaside theme) Ages ranging from 1-5 , no older ones at all this year.

    Having between 3 and 6 kids all day every day of varying ages... i have a plan!!! It takes me weeks to put together and finalise but having had a hellish first ever summer childminding (kids walking in going "what we doin today JoJo" before 8am!) i decided that from then on i would have one, 2 summers later and my life and the parents lives are so much easier! We all know what we are up to when and parents know what changes of clothes, accessories and how many extra pennies to send not for everyone but it works for me! xx
