[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd make sure you get out and give them some space-in a nice way. Take the kids out on day trips and have them spend a lot of time playing outside to reduce wear and tear as well as noise in the house.

Maybe treat your folks to a nice dinner without the kids. Be sure to write a thank you note and bring a gift. Ask if there is anything you can help them with around the house. [/quote]

I’d make sure to spend a good but of time out of the house with the kids each day (of course your parents would be invited to join if they want to)- but that will give them the option of peace and quiet if they need it. Research places ahead of time (particularly indoor stuff in case of rain)

Any day camps or similar the kids might enjoy, even half days for one week? Just throwing that out there.

Try to adjust the kids to your parents sleep schedule as much as possible (or take the kids out early if your parents like to sleep in)

An adult dinner without certainly sounds great too- I’d put out some feelers for local sitters.

Obviously, make sure to clean up after your kids (which I’m sure you will).

Personally, I’d relax screen policies a bit if needed..especially to keep the kids quiet at times your parents may be sleeping or relaxing. Nothing wrong with watching a few extra movies or playing a few educational games etc. Bring headphones for the iPad.
