You totally peeked in my planner, didn’t you?
April 11th, 2006 at 5:16 pmYou caught me, J.
April 11th, 2006 at 5:44 pmI just read your post over at dot moms, and had to come check out your blog.
I couldn’t agree more with you. I have one daughter, who is 5 and will be starting Kindergarten this fall. I want to spend as much unscheduled time with her this summer while i still can!
Aside from one week in july of space camp, we have nothing planned!
By the way… I also live in an old house, we were told 80-100 years old.. i LOVE it
hope ya don’t mind if add you to my links on my site, which is http://www.coffee-mom.com

April 12th, 2006 at 10:36 pmVery well said Chris! I scheduled swimming lessons. That’s it. Oh wait! I did sign the older two up for Library Fun for a week in June. That’s it. Really.
I think too much pressure is placed upon kids. We need to sit back and let them be sometimes. My favorite times are when the boys come up with some imaginary game to play. I love the stuff they come up with. (Though wrapping the baby’s feet with masking tape I could have lived without…)
