We are all counting down to the boys going back to school. We desperately need the structure and routine. The boys need to play with their friends and be away from each other. I need to sit in my office and work straight though, rather than squeezing in work in spare moments and\/or balancing what needs to get done with my children needing me.<\/p>\n

I thought about googling “boarding school for preschool” several times this week. I also had several elaborate fantasies in my mind about bringing back some 1980s style parenting and shooing my kids out of the house, locking the door, and letting them roam the neighborhood until dinner. I’m not sure how my snowflakes would survive. I also assume that if I wasn’t providing temperature controlled bento boxes of organic snacks and water bottles full of cold filtered water at all times, that I might be immediately arrested for neglect. So they didn’t get set free, but I really did think about it (several times). <\/p>\n

And so we continue our stay at home life for a little longer, but daycare is coming and we are all ready! <\/p>\n

We had another full week, visiting 5 different parks! We did a lot of fun things and we also got on each others’ nerves a lot. The weather was gorgeous and I am trying to enjoy every moment…<\/p>\n

Monday- hanging out at Grandma Debbie’s house. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

 Tuesday- Hillcrest Park (next to the library). Out to ice cream after dinner. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wednesday- Scavenger hunt with sidewalk chalk prizes, swimming, Grandma coming over in the afternoon to play. <\/div>\n
<\/a> <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a> <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a> <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thursday- Boyd’s Park, which was so beautiful! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a> <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a> <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Friday- Corn dogs, deep fried pickles and lemonade, followed by Central Park with Mommy, then Daddy met us and took over, while I went to my office. The boys then went back to Boyd’s Park for 2 hours! A very full day! <\/div>\n
