I do remember a few unpleasant incidents and hearing "I'm bored" a few times, but mostly I just remember having my own kids and lots of other people's kids all the time.<br /><br />I never liked crafts, either. Made too much of a mess, required too much time, never turned out like the instructions/pictures, etc. I'd rather pick up "snowflakes" than glitter.<br /><br />At least they'll be entertained when we all come up for 4th of July weekend. Hang in there!Cathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721319926097303454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-17938954306900752452011-06-14T13:10:52.482-04:002011-06-14T13:10:52.482-04:00I am with you sister.

I am not rich and its hard keeping them busy. I live on a busy street. I take them to the free and cheap movies once a week, free bowling, parks, zoo, and kids museum. all thngs that are free and cheap. I find it easier to be out of the house and makes the day go by faster. We also have pool days but they get bored with that too. Dont feel bad your human. I think kids should be in school year round!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707035602880327909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-1918252272407880212011-06-14T10:46:43.299-04:002011-06-14T10:46:43.299-04:00Sorry but it only gets worse when they are older. ...Sorry but it only gets worse when they are older. They start punching and chasing each other and calling each other really fun names and having screaming matches. I have had to tell them to STAY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!! DON'T EVEN LOOK AT YOUR BROTHER. DON'T TALK TO HIM!! It's kind of a losing battle. :)Jessica Armstrong Lasanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-59534480097409272292011-06-14T10:43:46.369-04:002011-06-14T10:43:46.369-04:00Rita I feel the same way!

But in summer I have all 3 boys with me in addition to 20+ kids. I spend the entire time breaking up fights between my boys. It sucks! I am SOOO ready for school!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967917357775528851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-169832277579857602011-06-14T10:39:21.479-04:002011-06-14T10:39:21.479-04:00I wish we were neighbors.
