Let's be honest - Summer is a CIRCUS for two working parents without a full time nanny. Hey maybe it's even a circus when you have a nanny, I don't know! It starts in February when you have to register for alllll of the camps. This Summer Grady is still at school until his school year ends in August. Then I have a gap of time before he starts Kindergarten. I also lose our college babysitter the last day of July because she has family vacation then goes back to college for sorority recruitment. I really wish public grade school and college schedules didn't vary by a month! TBD on what goes on in August in our world. I sorta have a plan...I think.
Anyway....here is Monday in a nutshell:
7am - everyone wakes up, gets dressed then comes downstairs. I lay their clothes out the night before. Shoes and socks are in the mudroom for an easy departure. Breakfast - mini bagel with sausage on them.
7:45am - out the door with both kids to take Grady first then Molly Anne. I had packed all of their things the night before - snack, water bottles were done, gear for camp packed etc. Actually I had Molly Anne pack her own bag!
8:25am - Grady has been dropped and then we went back towards home to Molly Anne's softball camp she is doing this week.
8:45am - Molly Anne has been dropped then I went back up to Southpark to my office
work work work
12pm - Bella picked Molly Anne up from camp then they went to do their thing. Lunch, pool etc. They have a lot of fun together and Molly Anne LOVES Bella. It's really nice having her because Molly Anne still gets a taste of summer rather than being in an all day camp, which I know kids also love. But this works for us.
3pm - Bella left and Kevin is home with her.
3:30pm or 4 or whenever I get to leave - I leave my office to go get Grady by 5 when they close then go home
5:30 - dinner via lasagna from the freezer that I made awhile ago
Showers
6:45pm - I left to go play tennis. Very good for my mental (and physical) health!
7pm - kids went up to read or play quietly
Grady has been going to bed closer to 7:30pm this summer. Molly Anne more like 8pm.
10pm - I got home an hour ago and took a shower and now bed!
Left a lot of details out but this is the gist! Always good times! Ahhh. Next week...a different camp in a different location at different times than this week!
