Where we live, there are separate days to register your kids for the regular recreation programs and for swimming. Last week, I spent an hour and a half filling out their registration for some rec. programs. Today, I received a Christmas card in the mail and when I opened it up, out fell a $25 gift card for Parks and Recreation in our community and the card read…
“Congrats on setting a new record! 54 program registrations in one day! Way to Go! Thank you for being active in our community. from your friends at Recreation”
So…you know you have a large family when…you set a new record for the amount of program registrations in one day!!!
This week is the week for swimming registrations and I will be registering 4 or 5 kids for that, so the $25 gift card will come in very handy!!!
the change

Were those 54 registrations all yours? (And that doesn’t include swimming?) just have to ask… lol… but awesome about the gift card!

Those were all for my kids!!! Swimming will add another five registrations to that! I honestly don’t have my kids overscheduled…it’s just that each homeschool art and drama class is one registration, as in it’s not a six or eight week art or drama program, but each week is its own program, so when I register five kids in many of the art classes, it adds up quickly. Some of the registrations were for a four week cross country ski program and four kids are going into that. You should have seen the length of the receipt they printed off!!!

ok… that makes more sense! I was trying to figure out HOW you could do that many different activities ~ lol. “54 registrations” and “the record” is funny!
