To many extra curricular activities?

When does one parent determine that they might have put their child in ONE to many extra curricular activities?

Could it be...when said child...begs to go outside and play on the tramp. To have his little sister right on his heels to follow...only to have that same sister come inside a while later proclaiming that "DCar won't jump Dad!"...in her voice only used to blame someone of grave wrong doing! She was utterly baffled and somewhat put out.

MountainSport Man being the dutiful Dad went outside to check on WHY DCar wouldn't jump. When suddenly he yells to my Mom, "Come look at this!"

As she steps outside to see what the big deal is she glimpses this:

Never to let a picture moment pass, she realizes that she can't quite get the angle she needs from this picture...to the naked eye it just looks like DCar is lounging on the tramp...doing exactly what PeePs proclaims he is doing...to her chagrin.

But when one get closer to investigate they realize:

The kids was utterly exhausted. He not only has had SkateBoard Camp AND swimming lessons...BUT he also has a plethora of neighbor boys and one girl knocking at his door everyday when he is done with his morning activities, to play, wrestle, and JUMP the rest of the afternoon away.

These pictures were taken after an over exhausting day as a six year old! One has to appreciate his energy when he, of course, isn't snoozing at every hidden opportunity! lol!

Maybe we should discuss that extra curricular activity issue another time...for now...I think I might need to take a nap...DCar has inspired me through these pictures!

What about you? What are your big plans today?
