We went to Moscow "Mountain" today to go on a "hike." (Do you like my "quotations?" they're needed.) Seriously, I must be missing something with the M. Mountain. It's not a mountain, it's a hill with trees, and we walked on a gravel road that was barricaded from the forest with barb wire and no tress passing signs. ...we must be missing something. we must be. Regardless it was a beautiful day and nice to be outdoors.
And then we went to Mountain View Park, we hadn't been there in a while.
I find it comical that one of the first questions the boys ask me every morning is:
"What are we doing today mommy?"
So, for the 'ole family record. Here's a weekly rundown for the Ritters:
Monday: aerobics/playgroup 9:00-10:00
Tuesday: P.S I love you preschool 9:00- 11:30
Wednesday: Library Storytimes 9:00-11:00
Thursday: aerobics/playgroup 9:00-10:00; Library Storytime 10:30-11:00
Friday: Science Center 10:00-11:00
Saturday: Swimming Lessons 10:30-11:00; Lunch at the Science Center
and if I'm not attending one of these activities it is because I am having a playgroup or something along those lines. (music time and soccer will be added to this shortly)
Recently I was in a group discussion with "over scheduling" your children ... hmmm... and it made me reflect a bit, but honestly this works for us. I'm not stressed, I don't feel like my children are stressed so it works for us. I still have five hours for them to play and read before Jeff gets home (then it's even more play: too much candyland and wrestling). I honestly don't know what I would do if I didn't have something to break up the morning! I get cooped up too easily I guess.
