The fort was a great investment - that greenery in the background is not our garden - but the neighbours! We live on 405 sq metres where not a metre is wasted!
I enjoy sitting with my coffee reading the paper on the iPad
watching (very often arbitrating) their play.
This play was followed by an hour in the pool with them both - which tired E out so much he asked for his bed at 10.30am. As a friend once noted, that swimming pool was the best debt we ever took on! Four boys without a swimming pool or a large back yard would definitely drive me crazy
I do miss T's cricket on Saturday mornings as a result of looking after these two - it is too long a morning for the littlies to enjoy at the game, and as well many of the fields are deadly for biting ants (ahhh got to love Australia) so it is just not practical. Also I have to pack so much STUFF - entertainment/toys, food, picnic blanket, drinks, folding chairs, double pram for sleeps, etc ... Frankly it's just not worth it.
So instead I enjoy my coffee machine and the boys enjoy their sandpit, rock climbing wall and slide!
