Tips for after-school care

[Starshine]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep 4 boys, age 6-9, out of trouble for 2 hours after school? OMG. What was I thinking!

Um, yeah, what were you thinking? Ok, forget about sitting them down because they did that all day at school. Don't worry about teaching them or crafts because they also did that all day.

RUN THEM!!! Outside whenever the weather permits and inside just play games. I wouldn't do it for my daycare but I do remember the days when my children were young and all 4 of them had 3-5 friends each in my house. So, 20 kids at a time is no biggie for me, but I do know you need to buy milk and bread every single day!
