They were driving me nuts with constantly wanting my attention - have been very busy preparing for kindy fete, organising T-shirt order for next year ( needs to be done ASAP), new parent support work and everything else.
So - whilst dinner cooked I sat down and played.
We played shop - they had their little cash register out. So i gave them some scenarios to get them started. Dd1 - just wanted to buy ice cream ( oops wonder where she got that one from ) Dd2 wanted to buy all sorts of things ranging from pictures to mummy milk for dd3.
Well - I do not think dd1 will have a successful future in retail - everytime we tried to buy something she would take money from the till and pay us!!! Laughing her head off as she paid us.
Dd2 - no real future either as everything I bought only cost $2.99!!!! again my kind of shop.
They had a blast and were just giggling all the time.
Dd2 then did round and round the garden on dd3's hand and was dancing and cracking the baby up.
Finally - dd1 made me laugh out loud - I told them for a treat if they ate nicely at dinner they could have some icecream. We have been doing a lot of 1st x then/next y.
So first - eat our dinner Next/then you can have a little bit of ice cream.
Well Miss5 ( dd1) saunters over and holds her index finger up to me - announces that 1st Ice cream, next dinner. Turns away and does not give me a chance to answer, sits up at the table and then nods at me as if to say - you got that.
I had to laugh - the look on her face was precious.
