Daycare is the reason I will always back TFMS to be an independent business owner for at least the next 8 years.  Worst case scenario, junior parks her butt on the salon couch all day while mom works.

One good thing about small rural towns.  With minisnick in school all day we are spending just over $7k for two.

it does eventually end, at some point you just let them come home after school and not pay the $$ to daycare..

Thinking of doing that with my 3 year old...

just leave the TV on...

But probably longer for you, I think we started letting them ride the bus home around 3rd , 4th grade?? Now mine drive themselves home so it gets kind of fuzzy

That's one reason why I'm in no hurry to have Mrs. Ble go back to work. If she wants to, I'll have no problem, but fortunately we don't need her to for the extra money. We'd end up spending a lot of it on daycare anyway, so it really wouldn't make a huge impact on our monthly finances.

I trusted mine more at 3 than I do at (nearly) 10.

Yes I won't be sorry to see the daycare thing end! How am I supposed to be saving for my vacation home in Vail?! :dunno:

went and talked to minisnicks class yesterday. Some really interested, some blank stares.  But they all love the recycled circuit board book mark and recycled $$ pencil giveaways I got from work.  

I think they might have liked Minisnicks presentation better though.  He got to read his favorite book (dr. Suess's 'The Foot Book") to the class, and from the email the teacher sent the kids were like WOW he read the WHOLE book himself without help.

it was so funny this morning, as he was packing his lunch this morning he commented how today was the last day of work for the head lunchroom person, he is retiring.  then goes on to say I hope Mrs. k takes over, she would be really awesome.

The baby likes when I sing beatles songs to her. It puts her to sleep.

Whisper words of wisdom,  let it be, let it be, let it be,  let it be.....

So no twist and shout?

So no twist and shout?

Not for sleepy time.

 

[FLBuff PE]

I sang Buffett tunes to mine to get them to go to sleep.

When they were infants bedtime was a lullaby tape in a cassette player that looked like Mother Goose with a night light that dimmed and shut off as the tape progressed.

when they were a little older, we'd play air guitar to Zeppelin before bedtime.  Rock out for a couple of songs and then off to bed!

now as a dad of HS kids I keep the router in our bedroom and I just unplug it when I want them to go to sleep...

<With the eye roll.>  You are ruining my life.  You're the worst dad. Ev. Ver.

they used to log onto the neighbors wifi, whose password is / was "password"

Mini-ble1 has been asking me for a while to let him go running with me in the morning, so yesterday I got him up at 5:45 to go for a jog. We ran 2 miles and he did great! We stopped after 1 mile and let him catch his breath a little, but other than that, he ran the entire time. He told me he wanted to do this every Sunday, but he wanted to run 1 mile further each week. I told him it would be better to work on running a bit faster each time for a while. Looks like I've found a running partner for at least one day of the week!
