During the half term break I offered to look after the two GC while their mum was at work. I always try to plan activities to keep us all occupied and to nip squabbles firmly in the bud and this time it was 'baking' well, actually, no bake cornflake cakes. The eldest has an innate sense of fairness so the chocolate was divided very carefully into two equal portions and they were absorbed in melting, mixing and popping portions into paper cases for quite some time. Result! No squabbles! It took me back to when my two were small...happy days...
The next activity was crafting, which they both love. After a quick beans on toast for lunch (the kids had to show me how to work the microwave (well it's different to mine!) some simple felt shapes were stitched and decorated with immense concentration and again....NO squabbles. They each produced a penguin, a couple of stockings to hang on the tree and some quilled pictures.
Thanks ever so for popping in x
