A little of what we have done

Breakfast is at 7:30am, so early morning wake-up alarm. We all eat together. Then back to our rooms for final prep. Andrew and Amanda went off to their meeting at 9am and nanny duty began. Jenn and I pile up the three kids to go play in the play ground (and sand volleyball pit). At 10:15am, Jenn takes littlest one for his nap and I keep the girls occupied. Usually we end up back at the rooms by 11am, baby boy sleeping until lunch. Jenn and I keep the girls occupied with reading, coloring, snacking and playing with my old iPhone.

At 12:45pm, it is lunchtime! Parents are with us, so our wrangling lessens a bit. Parents go back to meetings at 2pm. Next hour or so is quiet time for the kids. Sometime around 3:30pm, we all head over to the playroom. In here there are lots of toys and a little tv with a VCR. There are also biscuits (cookies) and juice. We usually end up staying here until Andrew and Amanda are done with their meeting around 5 or 5:30pm.

Dinner time is at 5:45pm. Food is less heavy at dinner than lunch. Also, no dessert! After dinner, we head back to rooms (maybe a bit of playtime), then getting the kiddos to bed can take some time. Perhaps later, there is some time for chatting with the parents.

And that has been the basic routine so far. Two more days to go.
