Hey Hon.
At least they are healthy. Mine's 1/2 sleep in front of M*A*S*H - been sick for a week.
IF you can get a move on there's a free fire & drumming in Withcot starting in about 2 hours time. Give me a bell if you want details.
Then there's going to a free dinner at the Budhists tomorrow at 5pm.
The other option is just to cuddle them & dunk their heads in a bucket of water
Be safe.

put em outside and let them fight outside, and when they have calmed down let em back in. Or maybe sit down with them and ask what is this all about then come up with a solution. Did ya love me other questions on the other site, just mukin around hey? Its fun sometimes. You said you would call, love you call hey? Cow. hehehhehe. Anyway how is Ellie, the little cutipie. Can ya tell I am feeling a bit better? I am keeping my eye on my monthly to see if the bleeding stops, but so far it has not. I guess that what you get for not having them for over 2 months hey? But you get that. .

They need to rid themselves of some energy!! Take them all outside and let them run and play to get rid of some of that energy. Spend some quality time with them. OR .. Its Friday so order pizza and and forget cooking.OR.. Ask them what they would like to do for the nite..rent a movie or game..go to walmart and buy them each something new. OR instead of ordering pizza take them out for pizza or go to McDonald's and let the little ones eat and than play while you have some quality with your 14 yr old daughter. Than when you get home get their baths and settle them down with a good family movie like shriek that they all can watch and than soon its bed time!!

The 14-year-old is old enough to take some responsibility for her brother and sister. Ask her to be the one in charge, think up a game or activity for them to do outside, and leave you in peace. Tell her that if she accepts this as her normal responsibility, you will see that she is suitably rewarded. What sort of reward would she appreciate most? If it's within your budget, and if it's at all reasonable, it will be worth it!

if brave enough [!] spread the newspapers out on floor or go outside, get all their paints out, let them run riot with their work, then get them to do a "presentation" where they all tell you about their work [single or joint efforts] then run a bath and get them clean!!
if K feels she is just far too grown up, or not feeling creative at all [she may offer an alternative activity] she can be given light 'chores' and a small reward!
my 3 are in the 2nd week of summer hols, and there have been a few moments of chaos and tears - maybe we should think up a 'spell' to calm them eh?! lol

i can empathize! The ones that are still at home are 16-m and 8yr twins-m.......
if i cant bribe the oldest one, i send him on his way and then tell one of the twins he's the boss of the television in the front part of the house, and the other is the boss of the back part of the house....both like the idea of being boss over something....then i let them know that if they can just give me a little down time, quiet time, whatever....peace and quiet and draw me something special....i will either give them 50 cents or a dollar.....
bribery always seems to win out!
personally, i liked hedgewitchs' suggestion.....
good luck to you!
Sending extra blessings and lots of peace your way!

My boys are both grown and off doing adult things. I miss those times now. When it was happening I couldn't wait for them to grow up and now I wish for those times to be back. Sigh.......I suggest you sit back and enjoy the sounds and sights while you can. Life can be quick and cruel sometimes so be happy my friend. Your time with them is short on the wheel of life. Blessed Be.

Little too late to hook them up with mine, K(m6), R(m4), I(f2).
Put 'em in a room and watch the room request a renovator.
lol. Be good.

You have my sympathy - I raised four boys on my own.
Find them some chores to do to dissipate their energy and set some ground rules for behaviour for the rest of the holidays.
Good luck!
Joan.
