Jacob!!!
I feel that way sometimes too when certain family members come to visit.

I will think of you and hope that you can endure and that even though you might be in the depths of despair as Anne was at times... that you can survive the weekend. grinsmiley

Subject: Re: Think of me AGAIN Tue Jun 24, 2008 4:56 pm

I'll be thinking about you, Jacob!! Stay strong!!! ROTFL

Subject: Re: Think of me AGAIN Tue Jun 24, 2008 5:34 pm

Thank you i will try to stay strong lol

Farmer Girl they are so weird they ask do you have that movie then if we have it i say yes i go and get it they see from where i get it from and they come look through all our movies and then they choose a Christmas movie i would't mind watching LHOTP but first they ask do you have lots of movie well yes then they start naming movies they have heard of (they don't have TV) then once i get one they go choose a diffrent one cause they now know where they are they are very Wierd

Subject: Re: Think of me AGAIN Tue Jun 24, 2008 6:05 pm

That is just too funny Jacob... excuse me while I assume the position: ROTFL

Seriously though... what if you start thinking about games you could play with them instead? Maybe do a treasure hunt in your back yard or something... maybe they'll have fun doing that and forget about any christmas movie... Laughing

Or maybe the christmas movie will be the prize at the end of the treasure hunt.... but just put clues as to each place they have to go to, and make them hard so they can take a while trying to figure it out Laughing

.... tell them that if they don't solve it, they won't be able to see the movie.... grinsmiley

Subject: Re: Think of me AGAIN Tue Jun 24, 2008 6:24 pm

That's a good idea Carol! (I might have to use that one myself! lol)

Well at least you don't have to deal with them for long. I know a few weird people like that. Good luck! Thumbsup

Carol!! I was going to suggest the same thing! Plan some games! Not necessarily board games, because it sounds like you'll have quite a crowd of children. But, there are lots of games you can do with them. If you have a couple of jump ropes around, you could have a "Jump Rope Champion" contest......You can get some squirt bottles, and have a squirt bottle water-battle. grinsmiley

There's "What Time is it Mr. Fox" "Red Light, Green Ligt".......maybe even get stuff together to make some simple crafts. Sock puppets are a huge hit - or paper bag puppets.......And you're vibrant enough of a person that you could make stories very interesting. You could read them some stories - or tell them stories of your own. There are tons of things you can do to keep them busy, and to keep yourself from going ~~crazier~~ crazy. batEyes

And, the entire way home, your cousins will be telling your Aunt and Uncle "Jacob is the best cousin EVER!" Younger cousins almost always look up to their older cousins. (Whether you like it or not. :shifty: ) Try to look at it as an adventure. Because with THAT many children around, it's likely to turn into one. :haha:

Well if they were my cousins they are only my cousins Children but thanks for the games ideas my cousin the childrens mother is crazy to or anoying well at least her sister was

Oh, Jacob, not again!!!!

You poor thing! And what is it with Christmas movies in JUNE?!?! Geesh, I love Christmas, but even I don't watch Christmas movies in the summer!!! help

Wow, good luck with that! :alright: grinsmiley

:alright: Jacob, you poor thing again!!

Like Carol and Savannah said, involve the kids with physical games. When my girls were little, my friends and I would gather all our kids together and create different olympic games. There were 8 children in all, we divided them up in 4 teams (2 per team). We would put down a two by four on the ground and have them to walk on the "balance beam", we would time them and whichever the team was the fastest won.....without stepping off the beam of course. We would line up all the outdoor chairs and folding chairs in two rows and had them crawled under through the legs. We made medals in gold, silver and copper colors as in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Of course, no teams were losers, the last team also received a medal of achievement and that could be in any color you prefer. We had great fun!!

So those are some of the ideas maybe you can try with your cousins. If not, you can always have them to help you clean house. :haha:

Edit: One more thing...like Savannah said about reading and telling stories to them, you can also tell stories about all the nuts around here. Except me of course. batEyes

Jaccob, I saw a saying recently that makes me think of you:

"Friends are God's way of apologizing for family."

How modest of you, Lily, to not want Jacob to tell stories about one of our most illustrious nuts. grinsmiley

Well, since they don't have tv at home, it must be a pretty big thing for them to have a chance to watch some. But that's fine - You can bargain with them. Thumbsup

Tell them that after playing games, you'll all go inside and they can watch a movie. By that time, you'll probably all be ready to rest a little, anyway. grinsmiley

Subject: Re: Think of me AGAIN Wed Jun 25, 2008 11:31 am

:yeahthat: They might enjoy playing a game and/or being outside, and like Savannah said, the movie can be a good way for you all to rest. Good luck, Jacob! LOL.
