I was just getting on here to post something like this
I totally understand your feeling like that's a lot of stuff, mkarntz! i actually made DS1 (3) a calendar today with stickers/stamps that stood for what was going on that day....and i was like OH MY GOSH! we have something almost every day!!!! we have been going to storytime at the library a lot this summer, plus walking to our nearest bookstore to play with the trains, plus walking to the pet store to look at the fish, dogs, etc. i think i'll be skipping a lot of that during the fall, though!!! here's what our schedule will look like...
mondays- playgroup 10-12
tuesdays- Bible study 9-12
wednesdays- Mother's Day Out 9-2, and i have no idea what ds2 (and starting in november, ds3) and i will be doing during that time!!!!!!!!!!aaaaaaaa, kind of stressing about this day for some reason, which really should be my relaxing day!
thursdays- this was normally storytime, library all morning...think we might be taking a day off here, though
...or i've thought about maybe just DS1 and i going together to look at books by ourselves after DH gets home from school
fridays- i had actually planned on joining a mops group as well, but i am also rethinking this b/c of our busy "schedule" I FORGOT!!! for 8 weeks starting in september, DS1 is taking a little tykes sports class at our rec center. they will be doing soccer, basketball, running, etc. i'm really excited for him, b/c i think he'll love it (he loves playing sports) AND thankfully, it will end before baby #3 is born
whew
i can't believe that i already feel like i'm overscheduling myself with 3 kids under 4 years old. i know, though, that we can easily (and understandably) skip playgroup, Bible study, and the library when baby #3 is in those first few months. that gives me some comfort
