bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Back for a bit, they are drawing planets now I will let you know when we are going to blast off again so you can come to BG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 yay!!I love kids' imagination!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 I know they crack me up with the games they play, we have even played fun fairs that was sooooo funny all sat on dinning room chairs in a row waving are arms in the air saying woooooooooo, they even made tickets I had to buy before I could get on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 How great is that?!I remember having a friend over when I was little and we also played imaginary games, I always loved that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Mine do it all the time, trouble is the house gets trashed But they are having fun so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Maybe they should invent a new game, that helps you clean the house? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Ive tried that one, but because it will not actually work like it does in mary poppins when you click your fingers, they get fed up with that game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 *fly me to the moon*oh really, it didn't help? And about a rewarding system - the one that cleans the most gets a big reward, the others get something smaller?(I'm evil, I know!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Ive tried everything, charts, stickers, treats, pocket money, their idea of tidying up is to pile it all up in a corner or hide it behind the sofa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 That's also a way of tidying up!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 thats what they have just done it then takes me twice as long to put it right again.They have so many toys and no storage space for me to hide it all, my whole house is like a toy shop Going to have a massive and ruthless clear out over the summer, trouble is I have to give away or make up charity shop bags without them seeing or they stop me getting rid of it.

Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Can't you do it with a yard sale, let them be the sellers and they can have a bit of the profit you make, so they can save it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 I live in a city so yard sales do not happen, I have put lots of very nice toys and clothes in the loft in bags, and hope to do a car boot sale, in the summer so that they can sell them to get pennies to buy new (hopefully smaller) toys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 i hope so too We should have to clean our attic too as there are a lot of toys still, don't know if people would buy the games as they are ancient compared to what kids buy these days to play with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Some games are classics though and can even be great fun for adults to play hehehe, I remember having friends over just after we were married playing twister in the garden all dressed as mexicans.The reason for mexicans was that a group of us used to take it in turns to put on a dinner, when they came to our house it was Chilli and they were only allowed to bring a certain mexican beer or tiquila & had to dress as mexicans to enter.Other nights were Indian, chinese and so on and so on between us all and had to dress in the correct clothing to be allowed in.

Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Yeah classics I would never sell, but I still have a ton of games I don't even know the name of anymore lol. I might have to help one day to clean out the attic, it's a lot of work and we might have to get a container here to get rid of old things (not just games and toys)Twister as mexicans!!! Now that is hilarious! But it's such an awesome idea actually! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 It was such fun, has made me think its been far too long since we all did things like that, but its hard for us to all get together, hard to as we all have kids now. and tend to only ask for baby sitters for really important events like special birthdays or weddings etc....

Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 But you deserve that fun time too (and I don't think babysitters would mind lol)Boogs, i had to say thanks on behalf of Mom!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 there's just a lot about vampires lately, and I want to find out how The Vampire Diaries evolve, it's quite okay to watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogie 0 Posted March 27, 2010 I will have to have a look at that one, but the thing I like about true blood is that its not just vampire's so many mythical people/creatures, who knows whats going to happen next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Making me want to read more now lol!I only read about a vampire now in True Blood and the mind reading girl, fun thing is that regular people know vampires exist apparently and it's not all about secrecy which makes it a bit different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
