I took the next week off from work to take the littlest one to a 2 hour day camp - parents attend the camp with their kids. I planned this way back when snow hadn't even hit the ground yet and I'm glad I did because the spaces filled up so quickly that if I wanted to sign either son up for another week, I wouldn't be able to. The oldest one's turn is in a couple of weeks, so I have another round of vacation that I took.
Even though I took the time off of work that doesn't mean that I will be resting. No, I won't be doing work related stuff, but there are a ton of things that I want to accomplish at home. Once again I have a "to do" list - what would life with me be like without that "to do" list.
Here's a little look-see into my to do list:
- Laundry: Do all the laundry
- Assemble the littlest one's bed
- Put up the chalkboard in the boys' room
- Paint the vestibule by the main bathroom
- Go to the Jelly Belly factory for a tour
- Take the boys for a pony ride
Honestly, I don't think that is too much to do especially since the day camp events are first thing in the morning. My oldest still has some park district events to attend 3 days this week, but those are also in the morning so we'll have time to hang out and do some of the fun things on my list.
Great idea--for the little ones, there's nothing more fun than a pony ride!

Do not forget to take a small amount of time for you. I never felt worthy of that until I had my first pedicure at the age of 44. And a whole spa experience. FUNNNNNNNNNN. Enjoy everything from completeing your tasks to enjoying your boys. If you want a surly teen I can send him fed-ex by 6a.m.......
