Caleb, Shelby, and Hanna all three want to sign up for baseball :hair
I am going nutts wishing one of them would change their mind :para
How in the heck am I going to manage 3 of everything more than likely at the same time on the same nights :shrug And to top it off DH has been traveling more and will be gone a lot of the time so it will leave me and with the twins doing all this running :shocked
Do any of you all have this problem...yet :para
:yep
A & A have already signed up for baseball, on two different teams
:newmom
At the same time, our oldest will be playing Lacrosse :straightjacket
I have no idea how we are going to pull this off. with 3 playing a sport at the same time with different, sometimes the same practice schedules and games. Shoot me now. :shock
You are so not alone. :straightjacket

Last year I had four in baseball. They were all on different teams that sometimes played at the same time. Three of them were on the Little League team, and my oldest played for the school. We live in a small town, so all the games were played at the same fields (except for when my oldest had an away game). The games didn't start until around 5 and DH didn't get home until after 6 (on most nights).
This is how it worked for us. On the days that all three of the little league-ers were playing, I'd go to the t-ball'ers game first, then go to the main fields to watch the other two, splitting my time up between the fields if they were playing at the same time. Most of the time, they were playing at different times, so it really wasn't that big of an issue. There were a few times throughout the year that all three played at the same time, so the older ones just understood that I couldn't leave the youngest one there by himself and I'd come watch their games after the tball game was over.
I also had a big master chart that told me who played what and when :para It really made for an easier season.

Oh, I forgot to mention... my oldests games were always immedietly after school. The only time his games conflicted with the younger kids games was when he had an away. I never went to the away games :kickcan

Jarret and Lydia are both playing this year. On different leagues and their fields are on opposite sides of town. :( I'm not sure if their games will be on the same nights or times but I'm praying they aren't.
WhoserMomma!

Yes...in fact they all three were in baseball at the same time. However, they had different practice nights, but they all played on Saturdays. Dennis was the coach of Sammi's team. We just spent the whole day of Sat. at the field.
Good luck? :para :teehee

Two of my kids are playing this year and there is such an age difference I don't think they will be playing at the same time, BUT they will have practices at the same time so I just told them, ok if you wanna play that's fine, but I'm only one person and there will be times when I can't be at one or the other practices/games, but I will take turns. They seemed ok with it and chose to play anyway, but we'll see when the time comes for me to miss one. Oye!
As far as getting them to the games/practices if hubby is away, the coach and or another parent is always willing to give a ride!
