These activities would be on the weekend only, preferably during J's naptime-ish, so one could stay home with her and one takes B. We aren't looking to pack all day everyday with scheduled activities but I notice a huge change in his confidence when he gets involved, also like mskatiep's L, B likes being social. And let's face it, weekend chores are boring.

MH and I said we would like to limit the kids to one activity a season. I know it's not a huge deal now while they're not school age. But when they are, we do not want them to be run ragged with extra-curriculars. Same here, i want them to have time to just play or be bored. I mean b-ball for example is two trainings and one game, that seems quiet enough. For what age group? Everything for this age group, here anyways if we're throwing location into it, is one day a week, maximum an hour.

Maddie and Cass just finished swim lessons and are supposed to start soccer next week but we still haven't heard from the coach. They are also in tae kwon do. Tae kwon do and preschool will be Cass' main activities in the fall. The extras are just for the summer. Maddie is very extroverted and wants to do every activity there is. Cass likes to be active and get out of the house. I don't like to be tied down to too many scheduled activities. I want plenty of time for us to do our own thing. Now that formal swim lessons are over we'll continue with free swim weekly.

You guys have been chatty the last two days but I just caught up!!! Does anyone brew DnD coffee from a Keurig? Does it taste the same as in the store? I'm talking hot coffee here. So Z was a beast yesterday and I thought it was all the traveling and lack of naps but then she had a fever at midnight last night and again in the morning when the Motrin wore off. So now I'm debating if I should take her to a clinic since we are out of state. I'm always worried about a potential EI. Other than that I'm bracing myself for another 9 days of this. Our sleep was shit last night, all three of us sleeping in one room. peachsmama We are driving to Ohio on Sunday and will be there til Friday. Not sure what my sister has planned but would love to meet you. I have tried DnD KCups but I don't think they're as good as coffee from a Dunkin store. They're more expensive than my normal brand (8 O'Clock) and I really can't tell a difference between the two so I don't spend the extra $.

I don't think the DnD kcups taste like DnD coffee either.

Almost there. There's better be wine. Poor C has cried on and off for the last hour.
And Flamingo-the-masochist gets to do this or worse 4 more times this summer. Yay.

Aloha!
Sorry I've been missing. We're having such a great vacation.
Everyone else went fishing this morning but I was waaaayyy too hung over for a boat with no a/c and stinky fish. So I'm enjoying some solo pool time and getting some work done.
I think this afternoon I'm going to do some paddle boarding and maybe get a massage.
We leave tomorrow night and I'm ready to be home. I miss my guy so much!

Does anyone know how strictly bru adheres to their return policy? I have new sheets and blankets, a changing pad and cover, and a mobile that I bought for Charlie back in February 2016. I have the receipts and everything is in its original packaging too, but I don't want to waste a trip out there if they'll tell me no. At this point, I clearly don't expect a refund, but I was thinking maybe they would still give me store credit.

@gustee I've had good luck there. I think you'll get store credit but I'm sure you can look up their policy online.

We are at intermission for the show at Foxwoods. Our trip has been amazing. We have a beautiful suite, I won $169 on my first slot machine, and they added outlets so we went shopping.
Mil said C is having a great time and hasn't asked for us once so we decided not to FaceTime and disrupt a good thing.

guster i'd call and speak to a Customer Service manager, get their name, and ask them if they'd return it. It may depend if it's regular stock currently. Tell them when you're going to go in just in case you have any troubles at the main cashier. I'd be annoyed to waste a trip for nothing, this way you have the right information.

Ugh I don't even want to think about activities for V. Sounds like effort for me.
A lot of kids play hockey here. I'd be flabbergasted if they had hockey for three year olds. But maybe they do and I'm the crazy one.

I love traveling so much - but when people talk about 2 week vacations it sounds kind of awful.

SweetPotato, sounds like an amazing vacation! As far as extracurricular activities: I tbink C would enjoy them but we haven't put him in much due to cost and it not working with our schedule. I need to change that.

We had our first vacation turned staycation day and got stuff done and hung out with friends. Tomorrow is a daycare day so I really want to have a relaxing day with no plans and no chores. MH doesn't agree, so we'll see! I just want to drink mimosas and binge watch Netflix! I mean, we are still supposed to be on vacation!
