Default What outside activities are your children going to do this school year?

I find that it helps to minimize outside activities.

If I can't minimize them, I try to consolidate them.

Anyway, here's what we've got planned:

speech therapy (2x/wk)
piano lessons for DD#1
violin lessons for DD#2
religous ed now on Sunday after Mass! We were doing RE in the afternoons -- very disruptive.
Scouts -- every 2nd Wed lunchtime for DD#2. Friday evenings for DD#1.

So, depending on how the schedule gets arranged, between 2 and 4 broken up days each week.

It would be GREAT if we could, for example, do Speech Therapy Tues/Thur at 9 a.m. and music lessons at 10 on the same days. But ... it rarely falls out that neatly.

Girl Scouts and maybe swimming lessons at the Y. Lack of funds severely limits our activities.
