they will probably entertain you. you'll do find once you get there then you can figure out what they like to do. read ,let them take turns telling stories , have drawing contest with the ones who won't eat the crayons , with the tiny one they may enjoy sitting in a circle with the others and listening to the made up stories, do animal sounds and let the kids guess what animal it is , wish I could be a fly on the wall when they look at you like you are nuts.
have fun

Turn on war coverage. That should depress them enough that they'll go to bed and you can have some peace.
Not really. I was just around a hellish kid all weekend long and the fantasy part in me wishes I had a muzzle, leash, and leg irons. What a headache. SO glad I don't have kids. (I would never do any of those things, just FYI)

You can bring lots of coloring books crayons, and/or washable markers . I'm sure you have those being that you have little children, too. Jigsaw puzzles, play-doh, sing-along songs, read aloud books, finger painting (can be very messy) and board games like Chutes and Ladders or Candyland. I'm sure you'll be fine and I think all of the above is time consuming so it'll make it faster.

Try making puppets with lunch bags, then they can put on a puppet show. If the weather is nice, kids always seem to love going outside to play too.

l would reccomend reading books, coloring, playing with any toys the kids may have. Play games like Duck, Duck, Goose, and have something to keep baby happy while your doing this.

You should bring fingerpaints or fun party cd's. That's what I do to entertain my 1 yr old cousin, 5 yr old cousin, 10 yr old cousin, 3 yr old cousin, and my 3 1/2 yr old brother.
