- Where to sit?
- Which cereal to choose?
- With or without milk?
- Big spoon or little spoon?
McC 2, 3 and 4 put on their uniforms ready for school. McC 2 cannot find his shoes, McC 4 cannot find his fleece and McC 3 would like Mummy McC to do two plaits! Mummy McC finds the shoes and the fleece, plaits the hair and makes sure all bags and lunch boxes are good to go by the door!!!
McC 1 has a school trip, so no uniform!!! Mummy McC was not overly impressed with the mix of colours between the trousers, t-shirt and jacket - but Mummy McC cannot choose McC 1's clothes anymore, sad Mummy McC!!! McC 1 did try to leave without a raincoat!!! Mummy McC won that one and the raincoat went with McC 1 on his trip!!!
Mummy McC leaves for school only a few minutes late and the walk/rush to school begins!!! School drop offs completed and on time - wooooohooooo!!! Quick nip to the shop on the way home, Mummy McC gets a super bargain!!!
Mummy McC begins the catch up of paperwork/housework for an hour before another mindee arrives. Set up the mindee with castle, princesses and a dragon - toys of choice! Then prepare the lunches. Mindee needs to eat before the Nursery pick up as mindee goes to afternoon nursery!!!
Mummy McC and Daddy McC leave for the pick ups/drop offs with the mindee! Rush to Nursery, collect McC 4 and 3 mindees, pop to the park for 5 minutes of freedom, then madness - an afternoon nursery drop off and an after lunch nursery pick up at different nurserys and at practically the same time, thank goodness for Daddy McC!!! Mummy McC goes to collect and Daddy McC goes to do the drop off!!!
Lunch for McC 4 and the mindees, mad afternoon with a farm toy and extra animals (giggles all round). Quick light snack and off for more school pick ups!!!
Mummy McC and Daddy McC headed to the school, dropped two mindees back to their mummy, collected McC 2, McC 3 and two more mindees and left the school! Change of route home to accommodate a duck feeding trip!!! Excited children!
A very long walk - over a bridge, down a path, over another bridge, down a path, over another bridge (this one had cars go under it) - excitement all round, but mostly for McC 2 who stood spotting the car makes for five minutes!!! Further on was a 'jungle' according to McC 4 and the children all listened to the sounds of chirping birds!!! Then came a climbing apparatus called the Spider's Web. Quick climb, quick snack and moving on (fearing the rain was going to come and get us), more walking and more spotting and McC 4 had a caterpillar on his hair - exciting!!! Then the duck feeding bridge - who could throw the bread the furthest? Daddy McC won that one! Quick park stop and then heading home!!! One mindee got collected by an early mum on the way and another tiny park stop too!!! NO RAIN, wooooohoooooo!!! Mummy McC loves children's chattering when they've enjoyed what they've done!!!
Dinner time all round, McC 4's choice - sausage, chips and beans, followed by a fruit salad!!! Free playtime, books time and then bath for McC 2, McC 3 and McC 4!!! Quiet time, children need to chill!!! McC 1 returns 'wet through' from his trip and is sent immediately to the bathroom!!! Mummy McC will make him some dinner after a bath!!!
Two mindees staying late (ish) as their mummy is working a long shift, so PJ's time for them!!! Then it's stories downstairs for the mindees and stories upstairs for the younger McC's!!!
McC 1 has dinner and Mummy McC doesn't have to force the homework tonight - woooohooooo!!! McC 1 is ready for tomorrow, Mummy McC has the uniform ready for tomorrow and has already prepared the packed lunches!!!
Mindees go home and Mummy McC and Daddy McC finally sit down - ooooooops, don't think Mummy McC and Daddy McC remembered their dinner today!!!
All ready for the madness of tomorrow!!! x
