That’s super frustrating wedding. Does he have any friends that would qualify to be in 8U that would sign up? I don’t know if I could commit to that many practices a week at this age. He would need 10 friends so I don’t think so. |

We are going to talk to him tomorrow and give him three options: tackle in the other town, flag in our town, fall baseball. He could do a combo of flag and fall baseball possibly depending on the schedule of practices. He’s going to cry either way.

Oh man wedding that's a heart breaker, especially so close to the season. Hope he handles it okay. We still need to sign up for some fall stuff here.. |

I am not loving the new transmissibility of this new variant, I feel like the game has changed. I feel like until this surge is down, we are going to be pretty strict about the kids being inside unnecessary places. We have only taken them inside places a handful of times besides camp, so this doesn't change much for us. I was hoping for gymnastics for N this fall, but I'm waiting until the spring when she can hopefully be vaxxed🤞.

tallb I’m the same about the new variant. I did that dd to the store with me yesterday to get some new ballet tights and some sticker crap. I’m trying to find a balance between basically not going anywhere and keeping ourselves from going bat shit crazy…

I've taken the kids to the store a few times out of necessity but I really try to shop on lunch breaks when they are at camp or on line. See also, the large pile of clothes sitting next to me that I need to return b/c I bought it all online and nothing fits right. |

Josie has been invited to a lot of summer birthday parties, and they've all been outside, usually at the persons house in their backyard or oool, but we just got one for the end of August at a trampoline park with laser tag and video games, and I feel like it's tone deaf to hold a summer birthday party inside when there are other outdoor options and the numbers are spiking.
I read through the website and couldn't figure out if they have a mask mandate inside or not.
I know I'm more conservative than most on how much I will let the kids do with this new variant.

C was bummed that he is missing the field trip with his camp to go to the trampoline park. I told him I wouldn't have let him anyway. They are jumping, screaming, climbing in and out of those foam pits. I just didn't feel comfortable. I don't know why you wouldn't do an outside party. I am annoyed that with a late fall kid, outside isn't always an option. |

I don’t think I’d want to go to a party at one of those places now either. But I, too, tend to be a bit more conservative |

The party we have tomorrow is for a birthday in October, and I really appreciate his parents wanting to do something now, outside, where we can also space out around their pool. Charlie and Josie are November, obviously, and March, and they just feel like some of the worst months for anything outdoors. |

Last October with ds we did cakes and lemonade outside under a tarp/rain cover & a scavenger hunt in the forest, it was pouring, but most kids just had on wellies and rain coats and they still had a blast! ETA my sister is a November kid too and often had her birthday party in June because my parents would set up the tent at a local campground and let us invite friends over for a sleepover camping party! She was a little older by that time though I’m guessing 10 or so. |

We did an outdoor party for S last november. He invited his 5 closest friends who we are also friends with their families and e ha et he party outside. We got outdoor heaters for the adults and the kids ran around so much they didn’t care.
