What are the Kids doing Today

[Mama Fergie]

Still school holidays here and I have 5 GK's today. 2 of them are sick so we can't really go out 
Drawing, building with Lego and making Johnros cookies and cream  fudge when baby goes to sleep.

Your poor son Brumington 
I think you are very wise not letting him do much until the cast goes on.
Take care of your back but easier said than done when you need to carry DS around.

Brumington, do you have a chair with roller wheels? Study chair? Easier to move him around.

But

It will be easier for him to get into mischief too

Hang in there MF. A few more days to go.

The 2 older ones helped to vacuum the car, after I loaded them up with apple & orange juice made in our fave gadget I will have to have low expectation though. Hahaha. Just to get most of the rubbish out and make them realise it is HARD work to clean up

have fun MF,

[Brumington]

So the cast was put on today. It is pretty much his whole leg in plaster! We have to go in again next week to get a window cut in to the front of the plaster at the knee where a graze has gone septic. He kept complaining that his knee hurt and I kept telling him that he meant his shin but lo and behold, when the bandage was removed, sure enough he DID mean his knee! The bad news is, we are not allowed crutches as he's too young. The doctor recommended redesigning our stroller a bit by putting a plank of wood under his bottom and sticking out the front so he can rest his leg on it. Within five minutes of telling my neighbour, our stroller had been redesigned! Gotta love good neighbours!

You sure do, what a great help that would have been for you.  Poor kid, he knew something wasn't right and he was right

Brumington so sorry to hear about your son.  I can empathize though - DS6 is in an arm cast at the moment and it has been hard work keeping him occupied over the school hols!  They get so bored.

sports day today

[astarra]

Cooking with my little sister today    Keeping them occupied, while I just rest and look after the baby. 

[Jamberie]

Potty training day #1 (take 2) today!
Now that we have finally settled into the new house,  it is most certainly time.... Only 2 accidents so far today,  but I am exhausted!!!

[obbie]

Kids came home with 6 ribbons for sports day, so both very happy.

[Bedlam]

Jamberie,i feel your pain!

[Jamberie]

Jamberie,i feel your pain!

No pain, just numb now! Desperately hanging out for DH to get home!

[mcmich]

Potty trainings a hard one - better numb than pain. All of a sudden it clicks with them and comes together.

Just all the mopping up, extra washing and vigilance in the mean time.

Yes! And the previous owners of our house didn't have kids, so the only rooms without carpet are kitchen,  laundry &  bathrooms! We've done LOTS of cooking today! Tomorrow we might do lots of water play in the sink!

I'm just waiting for that moment that she "gets it", then I'll be able to relax a little. Til then I can't plan to do anything so I'm reading the forum on my phone
