School Holidays
Here in Tuscany our boys get 14 weeks holiday. Quite long you might say, yes indeed I would reply,VERY. I always remember fondly my long summer holidays, a few trips to country houses, a week down in the west country and a few sponaneous days on the beach and voils school beckoned.How do I keep the boys busy and mentally stimulated so they don't start tearing each other apart for 14 weeks? Next year maybe summer camp, but is that more for the parents or the children? Do they really have a great time? Who am I kidding I just don't want to be bald by next september!

14 weeks?! I am all in favour of long summer hols. I think children grow so much during them. But 14 weeks? I think Tony needs to give them regular life lessons and a "making something" project or two or you WILL be bald!
What about them taking it in turns to be Daddy's business assistant?
I think T might have something to say about that, it's a shame that bob a job doesn't seem to be so popular now.
Painting farm gates was always my brothers summer occupation.
Ho hum - I've the drawbridge up to the office right now, lights off, and I'm hiding under the desk - and who can blame me?!?!?
Haha, I have my four kiddies here for these past 2 weeks of vacation from school and I am wishing that we had more time together to go places, in between my work time that is. Yet, I digress, 14 weeks, YIKES!! I would so have to find a place to ecscape to..for mySELF. Yep, I think I'd surely go mad!!
