I have three grandchildren that live 5 mins from me ....and one in London UK ....Abbi is nearly 11 kira 9 and luke 4and a bit ...Winnie is 6 months old ....I Love them them all dearly ......
My three kids in the US are Blessed ....apart from me and colin they have 2 other sets of grandparents that love them all equally....and they want for nothing ....they are not spoilt but they do not go without .....plus the fact they have my ex husband in the UK and his exwife (lol)so they have many that love them and care for them .......plus all the aunts and uncles that care for all of them .....
sometimes its hard to get the kids over for the weekend as there are so many others involved in there lives ...I aim to have them over at my house every other weekend.......
I would suggest that u get the kids out helping u with the garden .....i bought the girls mini tools when they were that age ? and they loved watching the flowers and veggies grow ....as a matter of fact .....when ever the kids stay over we cook and just learn about stuff .....they are not a hassle to me .....not at all .....
I am a Nanny for a Living iwork 50 hours plus a week ..... with a 9 ..7.... and 2 year old I have been in the job nearly 5 years ........
Abbi and Kira I take to chincoteaque every memorial weekend ....Thats our Bonding ..... make memories Sharleen ....
