yup i have my three home during the summer and they are almost 6, 7.5 and 10.5 ....they love to come play with the daycare kids but they always start doing things that are not day care/age appropriate ...im dreading the summer but it is what it is ...my biggest issue is nap time as my kids are not the quietest. we go outside in the morning from about 830-11 and that works out great and then i feed the dcks lunch and once they are all in bed i go upstairs and i make lunch for my kids and i and that way we are spending time together...if the weather is agreeable we sit outside and have lunch and therefore we are not making noise inside....its the best i can do ...my older son will probably go to his friends house once a week and i will try to send the younger two off on a play date here and there....we have the first two weeks of the summer off for holidays and my hubby is off for a third week in aug andhe is taking the kids camping so thats 3 weeks taken care of ....i may look into a camp for my younger two ..the older one is not interested in camp.
