 Thanks God the house is always getting showings these days. Most days two of them. But I am frusturated and need advice. With two kids, I gotta keep the house clean and feed them. The showing are usually from say 5 to 6 pm to 7 pm and 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
 
 We can not get in between and eat something as the house will smell, we gotta clean it and stuff. How can I keep these kids full and happy at nights ? Going to Pizza Places or Mc Donalds every nite is out of the question. Sandwiches   on the go ? any one with any ideas ?

BBQ outside and eat outside

 birolCrock Pot and a picnic???
 Prepare a meal during the day that you can keep warm in the crock pot. Take it and the dishes to eat on to the local park. Healthy meal and no extra cost.  Added bonus is it makes the house smell good.
 You can do the same with casseroles simply wrap the dish in a towel and put in a cooler it will act the same way to keep it warm as it does to keep things cold.
 You can pick up paper plates and plastic cutlery at the dollar store for even easier clean up.
 Add a jug of lemonade or iced tea and you have an economical alternative to eating out.  
 PS this will only work if there is no rain.
 If the smell bothers you I often use the crock pot outside on the patio or in the garage.

 birolBoy Birol, do I hear you!  Your lucky your getting so many showings a day, you will most likely sell it quicker!  That s the good part.  The bad part is that people looking at your house think it just appeared that way for them!  The cleaning part kills me!  And what to do with the kids for two or three  1/2 hour showings??!!  Most of the time I use that time to do errands like grocery shopping, Wal-Mart etc.  The only bad part is by then I m exhausted from cleaning!!
 If you have a park nearby, that would be good.  I like the picnic idea - this works really good because of the warm weather!  I ll keep reading this post, I need ideas too!  [:)]

Gone-Camping

 birolSet up camp in the back yard, sleep in the MOAT and cook on your camp stove!!! On the serious side, cooking outside this time of year is probably better than heating up the house anyway!

 Mom s away, so let the kids eat cookies for a week or two,
 and you never know, you just might get an offer[&:]

We are hooking up with John this Unday for 3 or 4 days, problem for this week is resolved :) For the rest, I will fire up the BBQ.  And leave a package of cookies in the kitchen, it will make the house smell nice.
 
 Thanks for all the ideas [:)]
