Yup, it's getting to that crazy time of year. Two sports for the boys - swim team and water polo (just 1 boy). Two graduations (1 high school and 1 junior high). Oldest son turns 18 in June, then goes to Costa Rica for the graduating class trip. Clothing needed for all 4 boys for graduation.
It's amazing how fast they grow. So cute to see the little guys try on men's shoes. They are used to various types of sneakers. Trying on size 13 EEEE makes their feet look big and too grownup. Nice slacks and a polo complete the junior high outfit. I'm done and have clothes for me and dh, too.
Trying to plan a summer vacation - making it fun, memorable (may be the last with #1 son since he's off to college), and CHEAP! Trying to figure out how to use frequent flyer miles to pay for hotel/airfare/etc. It's so confusing and complicated.
Here are a few questions for the week.
1. Do you have summer vacation planned?
2. What's on your schedule for June?
3. Do you have a holiday savings plan, like the old Christmas passbooks at the bank? Do you save throughout the year or handle it all during the December time period?
4. What are you interested in right now? Particular book, movie, hobby, sport?
5. Do you belong to other online triplet groups?
Have a great week.

1. Do you have summer vacation planned? No. We usually alternate a big summer trip with a big spring break trip. This year was spring break so the summer will be spent at the pool and lake. Thant's OK, I like a lazy summer.
2. What's on your schedule for June? My girls enter high school in the fall so they are taking a high school class in June. I did the same with my son to help them make the transistion from a small parochial school to a much bigger public school. It's health so not a heavy class for summer.
3. Do you have a holiday savings plan, like the old Christmas passbooks at the bank? Do you save throughout the year or handle it all during the December time period? We have accounts at 2 different credit unions. One is for checking and the other savings. No special savings for Christmas.
4. What are you interested in right now? Particular book, movie, hobby, sport? I am obsessed with facebook scrabble! Can't get enough of it.
5. Do you belong to other online triplet groups? I check out TC on FB, Triplet families on FB and, on occasion, read triplet disconnection for the drama. None in the last few years. Are we all getting too old?
