After the first couple of days the kids got bored and I was already for a padded cell until 1 decided the only way to handle the situation was to take the week off too and do things with them. Of course, what I really would have liked to done was go down south but finances never allowed that. Instead, depending on the weather, we went skiing, skating, to a sugar bush to see thern making maple syrup, to the automotive museum, the science cen- tre, in short anyývhere that the cost was minimal and the entertainment value was high. As often as possible, I coerced one or two other mothers into joining in on these expeditions. Not only did it help with the cost of the gas but 1 had someone to referee while 1 was driving, and some one to help find the inevitable lost child when it was time to go home. Not only did we get to see a lot of points of local in- terest that we might not have gone to on our own AIRTOOLSREPAIRED LARGE SELECTION, AUTOMOTIVE &WOODWORKING TOOLS, DRILL PRESS & MACHINERY 'OSHAWA TOOL BOX UNIT 19-133 TAUNTON RD.
