I'm a lucky mommy this time around. Usually they have weeks worth of gaps, but this summer I got my act together. I am so not creative with filling their days. It takes a village. Sometimes someone else's village is nice.Michelle Polarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717774498289472190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-64998729822609182452012-05-26T18:49:36.690-04:002012-05-26T18:49:36.690-04:00I feel your pain.

I have to play referee at least a dozen times before they leave (ages 7-12. I can't lock my door or they'll bang on it so there's nothing I can do until they leave. Hope you are able to squeeze in that time :)Jax Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362723752359948001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-39420994684452101932012-05-26T08:16:10.170-04:002012-05-26T08:16:10.170-04:00We don't get out until the end of June here ei...We don't get out until the end of June here either, thank god! Picture teenage boys thinking it's funny to slam each other into walls, etc. Oh, and let's not forget the rock band in the basement. Wish I were talking about the video game, but that's a whole 'nother issue. <br /><br />you know what, tho? All in all still more manageable than when they were younger. Good luck!Dalton Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176463811948745241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-3619214994054759642012-05-25T14:46:24.059-04:002012-05-25T14:46:24.059-04:00I'm so glad to be past that stage with my kids...I'm so glad to be past that stage with my kids! We made weekly lists of things to do - one day a movie and ice cream, one day lour local science center, another day we'd do some sort of inexpensive craft. As long as there was some structured event every day, they seemed okay with filling the hours between. Good luck!Wynterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611293420659353094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-42960677319229419892012-05-25T13:18:40.449-04:002012-05-25T13:18:40.449-04:00Oh, Miss Casey, I feel your pain.

School up here doesn't let out until the end of June, so I've got a few weeks left to figure something out.<br /><br />I've got big guy enrolled in two camps (but my God they're expensive!) and some golf lessons. I'm on deadline right now and so I plan to take my laptop with me and work in the parking lot during his lessons. Little guy I'm not too sure what to do with.<br /><br />Mine fight like crazy too in a constant power struggle. I've enrolled big guy in a summer reading club through our local library, but that can only go so far. I'm going to try to get my word count in first thing in the morning so I have most of the day free with them for little adventures/excursions. <br /><br />If you come up with any good ideas, please pass them on!Callie Croixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399800071597564487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-42231587166880732732012-05-25T11:51:35.622-04:002012-05-25T11:51:35.622-04:00LOL!

I got a movie last night in preparation for today, but after that I'm counting on rope and handcuffs! LOL!Naima Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269175037270984886noreply@blogger.com
