We normally do the "cone from Mc Donald's" bribe, and let them watch a movie (mind you that in itself often causes WW3!!!) or the boys play their DSs and DD plays her Leapster. On not too hot days we would sometimes leave them watching a movie, and leave my mobile set up to call DH's with the oldest. It's so hard, isn't it ? It's such a necessary thing, and , for me, at least, really enjoyable, but it's like torture to them after a while! I also tried the "go find your room" trick a number of times, but that wore off pretty quickly! Often the PD displays would have a movie playing in the home theatre, so that was good - agai, for a limited time...oh, and they weren't particularly interested in "The Corr's Live in Dublin"...or wherever!!! I just had the best day on Sunday - went on my own to about 25 display homes, looking casually, and taking it all in properly - bliss!!!
