We have a month and a half left before school starts. I'm counting down the days. Why? My kids are driving me crazy...Matthew thrives on his ability to bug Afton, Afton puts up a great whine when she's bugged, Halle just wants them both to be quiet and play nicely with her. How do I know that?--her high pitch scream that things aren't going her way! There are a lot of things we can go and do--the zoo, aquarium, museums, etc. but they also pose a little problem--construction on the tollways make it very difficult (and painful) to drive downtown. I have bribed the kids with a trip to the zoo this week, swim lessons start next week, and we do plan to hit the children's museum soon. But I have forgotten how to entertain children all day, every day! I need some inspiration on making summer fun (and not too taxing on me--there are three of them remember). Until then, I am the household referee and play-date-matchmaker!

I'm telling you - swimming is the only thing that keeps my kids sane in the summer. We have a town water park and a neighborhood pool - and we are at one or the other every day.
There is a package on the way that may buy you 5 minutes of quiet time....
I don't know what works for the girls but I usually just cover them in sunscreen, turn the hose on, and give them a bucket of sand then I lock the front door until I hear crying.
