A few of my friends and I do th...I totally get it. A few of my friends and I do the same thing with our 3 and 4 year olds here in Salt Lake City. Except we rotate houses each week so that we each end up doing it once a month through the whole school year rather than each of us taking a whole month at a time. But I absolutely get the love-hate relationship, just ask my husband. Every time it's my turn, for at least two days beforehand, I whine and complain and torment myself over great ideas. But now that we're at the end of our second year doing this (with my older daughter I never did playschool, she just went to a neighborhood preschool from age 3 on), I have learned one big important thing. Just like with teaching primary, I am at my VERY best at the VERY last minute. True story: when I hosted last Thursday, I woke up at 7:15 like I usually do. Made breakfast for everyone, made lunches for my 1st grader to take to school and my husband to take to work. Got the 1st grader's hair done, made sure homework was in her backpack, and took her to school. When I got home, my husband was ready to walk out the door. I looked at him and said "playschool is in an hour and a half. I haven't showered. 4 year old is still in jammies and hasn't eaten her breakfast. The living room and dining room are disasters. And I haven't prepared a single thing for playschool." Absolutely serious. By 10:00, I was showered, dressed, hair done. 4 year old was dressed, hair done, teeth brushed, breakfast eaten. The living room and dining room were spotless. I had posters on the front door showcasing two of our activities for the day, and I had supplies out for a third activity (a craft that turned out darling) and snacks all set out in the kitchen, ready to go. An hour and a half! And let me tell you, it can take me a full hour and a half to just have myself showered, ready, and kids dressed--it's not like I'm a super fast person. I'm clearly proud of myself, which is probably annoying. I just wanted to share the lesson, which is that instead of a week of angst beforehand, just give yourself a couple hours (the night would before would be smarter than my morning-of tactics) and see what you come up with. You'll probably surprise yourself. And I promise, the 2 and 3 year olds will never know the difference--and honestly neither will the moms. Oh, and the other lesson: if you do it again next year (or do you keep going through the summer?), ask the other moms if they'd consider switching houses every week. Now that you all know each other's homes, getting to a different location each week probably wouldn't be a big deal, and trust me, only having to do it once every five weeks or whatever is SO much less stressful than having to do several weeks in a row, even if you only have to do that once a year. Spreading it out is, in my opinion, less stressful and also easier on the bank account--if you're like me and buy supplies and snacks specifically for it. But nice job! Looks a whole lot like the space-themed playschool I did last year--except I was just using everything that was left over from my older daughter's space-themed birthday party, so I didn't have to buy or make anything new--AND I got to use all of it a second time, which just thrilled my frugal heart!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896851782001617968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-7406854641381510932013-05-01T18:26:21.107-04:002013-05-01T18:26:21.107-04:00oh no i think you misunderstood me, i did not have...oh no i think you misunderstood me, i did not have a horrible time at all! we've loved it, it's been very fun. every monday night when it's time to plan it i think to myself "i hate this! but it always turns out very fun the next morning. kind of like exercising, or other things that are fun and good for you but require some effort. ;)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698804808966036834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-44380351577431110642013-05-01T17:44:52.415-04:002013-05-01T17:44:52.415-04:00Yeah, must be a family thing for her cuz I'm a...Yeah, must be a family thing for her cuz I'm american and the only toad in the hole i know is the one you just described.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075472735861061864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-66374730265938500622013-05-01T10:45:34.110-04:002013-05-01T10:45:34.110-04:00It's to bad you had such a horrible time doing...It's to bad you had such a horrible time doing it.
