Weekends are a time to relax and rejuvenate...

Yeah, right! Just how many events can one family squeeze into a weekend anyway? This isn't a trick question. I'm curious to know if anyone else has ultra-hectic scheduled weekends like we do. This is what we're doing this weekend...

On Saturday:

1) Soccer game for kid #2 @ 11:45am, which won't start on time because they NEVER do. At least we can sleep in a little.

2) Cub Scout Popcorn Sales @ a local grocery store mall area from noon-1:30 with kid #1. I don't believe I can make that one due to the soccer game. Thank God my hubby is around so we can divide and conquer, which is becoming a regular routine for us.

3) Cub Scout Popcorn Sales AGAIN from 3:45-5pm with kid #2. Since they're both involved in Scouts, but in different dens, they have two different times to work - NATURALLY!

4) Oktoberfest from 6-9pm at a neighbor's house, which I'm actually looking forward to because a) we can bring the kids, therefore I don't have to pick up or take home a babysitter, b) there will be free food and drinks (Gotta love that!), c) if we have a drink or two, we only have to walk two houses down to get back home, and d) it'll probably be fun.

5) Sometime during the course of the day I'll have to make a casserole to take to an event the next day (See below).

On Sunday:

1) Sunday School & Church from 9:30am-noon, which is our normal routine every Sunday, so that's no big thing.

2) Sunday School Picnic @ 1pm at a local park and everyone has to bring something. There's where my casserole comes in. When do you cook a casserole when you're not at home? I've always wondered about that. Too bad Alice (Remember the Brady Bunch's Alice?) doesn't live with us. I'd make her do it!

3) Since we're going to be busy as bird dogs all weekend up until this point, I can pretty much guarantee the boys will have loads of homework. This nearly always happens. And of course kid #2 starts 2nd grade testing at school on Monday morning, and he's to get plenty of sleep and have a good breakfast the next day.

Weekends ain't always what they're cracked up to be!

We can completely sympathize!! Sometimes I feel like we are going to "crack up" during our busy weekends. As far as the cooking thing, make something in the crockpot??? That way you can get up even earlier before church.LOL Er, Just tryin to help...
