Day 3.055: Childcare is taxing...

...but there are ways to make it easier.

Option 1: tie them up.

Option 2: mass hypnosis.

Both the girls had friends over this afternoon.  I guess they were all a bit tired too - as, unusually, both pairs ran out of ideas for activities and elected to watch a movie - at least it was something they could allow E5N1 to join in with.

The other picture resulted when E5N1 had been being Exile #3's dog - when she went in the shower, she tied him up on the landing.  He wasn't too bothered as you can see, but he wasn't willing to wait quietly for his sister so I untied him and let him run wild again after taking this.

Meanwhile, Exile #2 and I have made good progress with collating our tax data.  Hopefully we can get it finished soon!
