Hey, we can use it as an excuse to meet for lunch. Whoever gets the fabric brings it and we dig through it together :)

I can pick and choose what camps I send Liza to as well -- I'm really not seeing sucha difference in the kind of camps she goes to that the kids of SAHMs might go to -- she has tons of free time at her school run day camp, they swim, they do crafts, they play in sprinklers, they read, they eat ice cream, they watch movies, they go on field trips --


even the theater camps have a big free time chunk in the middle of the day where they kids all go toa nearby park -- and I think Liza would probably tell you the four weeks of theater camp are her 'most fun' weeks of the year -- she gets morose when they are over.


Neither camp starts super early -- I think Idrop her off at 8;30 for both of them -- which is like sleeping til noon for a kid who has to be out the door by 7:15 during the school year -- and we have so much unstructured time of our own (you know all that time I spend not cleaning has its benefits)

I admit I'm a bit confused at your questions here...where have I stated that you should do anything?

I'm really thinking that I should mention it to my kids as well....they have wicked imaginations, so I have to be careful to cover all the bases, lol.
