Even the most spontaneous activities need some pre-thought. Set up boundaries ahead of time so that everyone stays safe, you don’t spend too much money and the kids eat a few healthy things that day.<br /><br />Mariz<br /><a href="http://www.onestopbuy.com/belden.asp" rel="nofollow">Visit us Belden</a>Penelope Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732383763497653346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-5015116257728026732014-07-16T06:56:20.073-05:002014-07-16T06:56:20.073-05:00Holy shit.

They did stuff like shaving cream fights in the yard (make sure you wear goggles). You could do b'fast for dinner, baking, etc. Stuff that is normally off limits because it's messy/time consuming/etc. If you come up with the list ahead of time, you can manage your expenses.Jen Piwtpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09576108150881254072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-78669114753985875632012-08-15T08:30:54.078-05:002012-08-15T08:30:54.078-05:00I did not roller skate.

You know, ideas that don't include letting them watch TV all day long.<br /><br />Yes Day might be exactly what we need. Wear their pretty Easter dresses? YES!

YES! <br /><br />I like it. :-)JD @ Honest Momhttp://honestmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-67758345389879823162012-08-15T06:41:18.227-05:002012-08-15T06:41:18.227-05:00OMG Jen, I have never heard of such a thing as YES...OMG Jen, I have never heard of such a thing as YES DAY. What a great idea! I get so fucking tired of saying no all the time. Cost is definitely an issue for me and I just know my kids would figure it out too and start asking for things like a Limo ride and dinner at Benihana. But it would be SO nice to stop saying no all the time. And damn, way to make a sister cry. Bitch.
