Lets share our summer survival tips. I decided that I had to get organized early, so here's my plan (don't laugh..yes, I know in a month or so I'll be asking for survival advice...point me back to this thread!)
1. I scheduled a time for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
2. Paper plates and plastic cutlery/cups all the way. Names are on the cups so that I can reuse them...but I'm not going to waste all day cleaning the kitchen!
3. I planned sandwiches for the week and bought lunchmeat, cheese and snacks...and then... ...I locked the cupboard. The kids can't get any of the snacks. I don't want to clean up cookies and chips all day or have them drink every single caprisun in one day.
4. I sat down last night and did a one month meal plan for evening meals with easy things (and a pizza night built in.)
phew. I feel so....ready.
How are you guys handling bedtime? Aidan and Zoe were up until 10.30 pm last night because it is getting darker later. I forget the time, they don't want to go to bed....
Are you guys doing chores for the kids? How are you handling them?
Bring on the summer survival tips!
