I admire many single mothers or more than 2 kids with all different schedule activities.  I only have two kids!  Their schedules are killing me!!!   CRAZY!!!
Monday: K - soccer prax 5-6:30
              M - softball prax 6 - 7:30
(only mother available - mama - working teaching gallaudet students)
Tuesday:  K- gymnastic 6-7pm (25 minutes drive)
               M - girl scout - every other tuesday 4-5:30
                M - softball games (depends on locations - range 5-30 minutes drives) - game starts 6:00pm
(I begged mama to reschedule her doctor appts to different dates - whew she did)
Wednesday: M- Spanish Class 3:15-4pm
                    K - soccer prax 5-6:30
                   M - Softball prax 6-7:30 (pull out at 7:15)
                   M - Dance 7:30-8:15
Thursday - Kids' BREAK day!!! but cleaning house is not consider as break!
Friday - M - Softball games (depends on location 5-30 minutes drives) game starts 6pm
Saturday - K - soccer - in the morning
Sunday - Cleaning/Family Day - ahhh...

How did single mothers do that?  How did mother handles more than 2 kids with their activities?  Wow!!  I'm so thankful that Mama Hollie is trying to help as much as she can.  

CRAZY - a lesson to learn - cut down activities on kids!  but impossible!  I know anything is possible but... still crazy!

If I have to cut two activities then I don't know which to pick... 

Gymnastic - to build strength and self - confidence for K
Girl Scout and Spanish Classes - educational activities
Dance - Mikaela LOVES to sing  - she's in Musical threatre
Sports - Both kids love!  

ARgh!!!!!

Here some pictures of kids in sports ...

Wow...that's activity overload.
Your kids are amazing to handle all of that.

It's too damn expensive to do more than one activity in our house :)
They will do piano (musical instrument) and another physical activity.

Good luck mama's in keeping up with that.
