Exhaustion

There may be some activity that is more tiring than spending an hour on a trampoline with a five year old and a six year old, but off hand can't think what it would be.

We came up with a new variation where I go underneath the trampoline and push upwards as they jump to see how high I can bounce them. Almost got them over the safety net a couple of times but not quite!

I'm quite used to babysitting my niece by now, but my brother forgot to mention she had a friend staying over tonight. Two of them is a lot more challenging than one. I really thinks parents who have to do this every night do deserve some sort of medal!

Anyway I suspect 9.39 pm is past their bedtime, despite their insistence it is not, so time to try and get them into bed. How many bedtime stories will it take? On average it has taken three in the past!
