Boys want to play outside. OK no worries better get dressed first
Mason needs his hat so find hats, then Angus needs sunscreen (they won't go out without it now due to creche but that's a good habit).
Got them all sunscreened up with their hats and now have to find shoes because of the dry grass and pric*les. "Don't want to wear gumboots because it's not raining" (aparantley gumboots are only for wearing in the rain - what would I know hey!) Hunting high and low for Mason missing shoe and in the meantime Mason starts the video and wants to watch Bob the Builer.

Hooray! The shoe is found but the moment is gone. Boys refuse to go outside and spend the next hour or so whining to me and fighting over which video to watch till I spit it and chuck them out side where Angus pounds on the (unlocked I have to add) glass door blubbering at me and pulling sad puppy dog faces.

So after lunch they go on out and while I'm feeding bubs I hear thud.....thud.....giggle....thud. On inspection they have thrown clumps of dirt all over the concrete and taken great delight at watching them smash apart on impact. Now I guess I have something to do tomorrow - sweeping up dirt. Can't be bothered doing it today.

I'm beginning to think that letting them play on the play station like zombies might not be so bad afterall.

This has turned into a kind of mini vent lol but does anyone elses kids lose interest in playing outside once you go through the whole getting them ready to go. I think just letting them go outside in their jammies or in a state of semi nudity would be better!
Does anyone else have this trouble...
