Don’t Break The Bank Holiday

Living in a holiday destination Bank Holidays can get really busy around here, so we normally decided to stay in or visit family.

None of the boys really enjoy the hustle and bustle of town and prefer to be kept busy other ways.

When possible we also try our best to keep the cost down.

So I thought I would share some of our top favourite things to do on a Bank Holiday.

Garden Picnic..

If the weather is nice, why not head out into the garden and have a picnic?
Food always tastes better in the sun...

The boys love eating outside and it always makes them smile to see food being set up on the picnic bench.

Get The Kids To Put On A Show...

The twins love putting on a show, they never really make sense and they are usually over within a second, but they spend most of the day practising.

When they're really planning their play, they always ask for face paints.

I'm not amazing at face paints but they are always happy when they see the end results.

Movie Day....

If the weather is being rubbish, why not snuggle up on the sofa and watch some of your favourite films?

When we have a film day, the boys each pick a film and then sit back and enjoy a movie marathon.

Cakes and popcorn are usually provided by yours truly.

Painting Fun...

Sometimes sitting in front of the telly can get a bit boring, so when that happens I always have a supply of paint and paper.

Getting the boys to paint always keeps them entertained for a couple of hours and then they end up with a few new master pieces to put up on the fridge.


Bake a Cake...

Before you have a movie day, you could bake your own cakes.

We all enjoy baking cakes and making a mess in the kitchen.

You can either look in the cupboards and get creative with the ingredients that you have, or you could cheat and get a pre made kit with your weekly shopping.
