Twin two year olds,double trouble! My grandaughter who's two is much harder work then toddler boy who's three, he is just so easy now that I can explain things to him and he listens. Have a great time with them all, I love six year olds they have a great way of looking at the world. I've not seen my toddlers for over a week as I haven't ben well and I miss them both.Anne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251035797708672975.post-7210467804987620372013-10-29T12:38:44.428-10:002013-10-29T12:38:44.428-10:00Enjoy your beautiful grandchildren... and I am SUR...Enjoy your beautiful grandchildren... and I am SURE they will have a wonderful time playing hide and seek in your amazing garden!Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251035797708672975.post-27740578094389724592013-10-29T08:14:03.219-10:002013-10-29T08:14:03.219-10:00Have a lovely week with your lovely grandchildren....Have a lovely week with your lovely grandchildren....I used to love the school holidays when my children were little.

I am only really aware of school holidays because one daughter teaches in a school. It was holidays last week. I knew because suddenly she was posting things on FB :) The other daughter and I work in both the academic and the commercial education sectors, so we only notice seasons - as you used to do. I would love grandchildren...Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251035797708672975.post-66764301799740175222013-10-28T01:15:15.818-10:002013-10-28T01:15:15.818-10:00I always looked forward to the school holidays whe...I always looked forward to the school holidays when my children were growing - we had great times, going to children's theatre, visits to friends or to shopping malls... good memories.
