Keeping them busy?

HI- My boys are now 14 weeks and I find it so hard to keep them busy and content. They are not the type to just sit and look around. If they go in their swing or bouncy seat they will only stay if they are ready to fall asleep. I only have 1 swing and bouncy set up. I then have a play mat set up for them as well. What are some things you do with your twins to keep them busy? It is so hard b/c 1 son cries more than the other and demands more attention. I feel so overwhelmed. Does anybody else feel this way. When it's not raining out I take them out and run errands. Unfortunately, it is raining today and I am keeping them in b/c they have a little cold. Please give suggestions. TIA

Re: Keeping them busy?

I have two swings and a bouncy. At that age my boys were still pretty much in the infant schedule. When they started to cry or get fussy they were tired and I would put them to sleep-sometimes in the swing and sometimes in their cribs. I let them watch Baby Einstin, read to them. Lay thyem on the floor and play. Do you have a gymini or play mat? My kids love that.

Also I would suggest you buy another bouncy-I wouldn't get another swing since they can only use them until 20 pounds or so. Mine love their infant to toddler rockers
