that is a tough age but I find it easy to just get them out of the house!!! Haha usually is harder if u stay in! They fight more, make ahuge mess... Anyways... I'm always on the go it doesn't matter the age!

I also find it really important for u to take control. Be the leader. By that I mean u ask their opinion and what they would like to do but in the end u decide. They may complain a little but be nice on the way u explain!! It's just hard to please Greeks and Trojans!!! Haha

And then do a search in your area. Here in ct every town has a nature center, tons of outdoor parks, children muse, zoos!!!  If u baby sit those kids evryday of's worth it to ask their parents to become members of such places!! Then u can go everyday if u guys want!

For rainy/snowy days projects are a must!!! That keep them engaged in somemthing and out of troble!

the secret for projects is the planning! Plan everthing in

advance so u guys stay organized and its fun

U can also look up on ur library. They always have good project books. Last time my kids and I did a desk organizer out of paper box and toilet paper rolls. And today we are painting pots and planting seeds on them.

Oh btw!! When u decide where to go and if they get upset or something make sure they have tons of fun!! They will soon find out that u have pretty good ideas and they will always want to do stuff u.

Oh. And also my kids love mini golf!! We go to the indoor one in the winter and at the beach one in the summer.

And libraries usually have story time. Even barnes and nobles have them. Some are lame but some are really cool.

Good luck!$

Answer 8

I enjoy doing crafts with my kids.  Both boys and girls enjoy these type of things.  Just make sure you find appropriate ones for each child.  Also educational projects can be entertaining for both children.  Use some play-do and build up a volcano.  Pour in some vinegar and baking soda with food coloring and the kids will have a blast.  There are lots of great sights with ideas you can check out.  Most of all just relax and have fun.

Answer 9

In the parenting magazines, it says you should just let them play, and get to know each other.

Try not to interfere and just have out a few toys and snacks for them.
