Wow! from zero to hero!

If the weather is nice, just take them to the park (in the car might be safest) and then let them do some activities in the garden, put the bubble machine on, get the parachute out...wear them out
Hope it's just for one day though

Do you want me to send dd up? She's very good with the little ones

Otherwise I recommend paying a teenager to keep them busy

haha that made me laugh!!

I will cook all the food on monday or make something where they can help me..

luckily it is only one day just now...gives me some time to get used to it...
coz in school holidays I will probably be similarly busy...LOL

yeah might take them to the park if the weather is nice...that should keep them occupied for a bit

then home for the little ones to sleep and the bigger one's to do arts and crafts..
oh and they want to play on the Wii but I only have 1 remote thingy...so maybe not a good idea...

I must be insane!! LOL

spent most of the 6 weeks with 6 children each day, we went to parks or for walks in the morning then did crafts or cooking in the afternoon. it was hard work but good fun and rewarding.
as for meals how about letting them make their own pizza's, they could then also make some bsicuits or cakes and ice them for afters.

You could always ask them to bring their own controllers from home (at their own risk, of course)

You sound very organised so I'm sure you'll be fine
