[quote=Anonymous]The good thing is your kids would be in their own house, have their toys, familiar environment, etc. Can you schedule something fun or special for that weekend - the childrens museum (winchester, Baltimore, richmond) for example? Open play at a bounce house. Call on a favor and have your 4 yr old go to a friend's house for a playdate for a few hours (even schedule it during 1.5yr old's nap time to give everyone a quiet break)? Something like that (just examples). It breaks up the long weekend and also keeps grandparents from being overwhelmed and burn out (which can happen quicker than you think). Things will go easier if the kids tucker out so leave directions for things like the nature center, a few playgrounds the kids haven't bern to, a drop-in class at the rec ctr, or whatever. Leave gift cards for the pizza place or whatever take out. Makes life easier for everyone. [/quote]
