So I had to tell him about the TV Show you mentioned since he's read all of the Sword of the Truth books (when a new one would come out it would be his bday or Christmas present) He's been able to d/l a few of them so he has something to watch now while he's deployed! He said they are loosely based on the books, but so far the series is pretty good to watch.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-84748752957969303082009-06-10T14:55:49.971-05:002009-06-10T14:55:49.971-05:00A vacation in Texas sounds simply marvelous!

Set it for an hour. Each child has an hour to make decisions about group activities. If it's her turn, and he doesn't want to do what she wants, he can go play on his own, and vise-versa. <br /><br />The second you hear bickering, start the timer and inform the children who gets the first turn. This may work wonderfully- but what usually happens is that the children learn to dislike it (no democracy)... and learn to compromise when mom threatens to start the timer...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-64837581247922797362009-06-04T10:56:22.885-05:002009-06-04T10:56:22.885-05:00Where it Texas are you going?

I'm not too interested in taking a 17 month old to a play...<br /><br />All of your plans look great.

I work through the summer so things don't change much for me except I always have the juggle of allowing the dayhome kids to have fun and the right of my kids to be able to sleep in because it is there summer holidays and their house. It's a constant jugggle and sometimes stresses me but I try to combat it with planning.

I get you, my kids still have two more weeks of school and as much as I am looking forward to abandoning schedules for a while, I am a *leetle* apprehensive about having four kids home all day, every day! I like your checklist idea a lot.<br /><br />Have been watching True Blood too, season 1 is finally on Netflix yay! I read all the books it's based on so I need something to keep me busy until the next one... <br /><br />Just got a load of books for my birthday so I should write up a summary of what I got... will put that on my "to-blog" list.<br /><br />Have a great week!
