So what do you do with the horde in 7 weeks when they get out?
I forgot to answer this - the boys go to our sitters during the summer - it's nice as there are other kids there close to their age, and they read, play outside and just sort of hang.
They also do a bible camp, which is 1 week in June, for three hours a day, and then Mike and I are off for two weeks in July, and they'll do some time with my mom when the babysitter's on vacation (or we'll get my cousin's daughter to sit with them that week). All in all, they have about 11 weeks of summer holiday - 2-3 will be completely off due to our vacation/the babysitter's vacation, 1 week will only be half days due to bible camp, 1 week will more than likely be half days due to a study course I'll "probably" put them in (the older two only). So, all in all, they're not there that much. They actually don't mind it too much - Josh helps with the younger kids, Matt and Nick have fun playing with their summer friends, and Ben spends his days ticked off, because he's not the only one going! *laughs*
