It's just


all 3 kids are under 10; my "organizational" panic is starting to set in for me and I need to have this trip planned right this time. Please help, thanks.


Answer
While Pasky is right, there are lots of portable electronics to entertain your kids with, you could also bring other things that won't cost that much.

Books or magazines are a good way to keep them occupied if they can and like to read, if they cannot you could also read to them.

Playing cards can also keep them busy. If the train that you're going on doesn't have a surface to put the cards on, you could bring a tray to use as your 'table.'

Small toys/dolls and what not are good as well.

Depending on how long it is, and what time the train ride is, you could bring a soft pillow and blanket for each child and have a nap time on the train- this is a great way to keep them from bothering other passengers. If you have a daytime train ride and it won't be a regular sleep time for them, you could probably wake them up a few hours earlier than usual or send them off to be a few hours later.

Depending on the age, coloring and activity books are also time-consuming, and with older kids you could give them puzzle books such as crosswords. Under the age of ten, though, you should be able to find something to keep them busy.

And electronics are always a way to go- DVD players, a notebook with computer games, portable game systems, iPods, etc....



Good luck!

Is it safe for small dogs and children to be around and inhaling drywall dust?

I have 2 toy dogs and 3 kids all under 10 we are sanding our drywall is it safe to have them in the house...it is poorly ventilated too


Answer
No it is not safe. When you work with drywall you have to use a mask for you and to keep the place very well ventilated. Also use a vacuum cleaner attachment - you can rent one.
