One question...do the kids have Spring break vacation up in Canada? Or some scheduled holidays/days off from school that is happening in the next few days/weeks?
There is a break coming up fairly soon so I would plan to bring them home then for sure so I may back off on the weekend thing for now.
As an alternative for the weekend I'd considered staying in the hotel for an extra night which would allow me to drive my D6 to school Monday morning and then take my D4 to her playschool in the afternoon. It would still keep the kids on their usual schedules but give me more time with them. Not sure if that would be wise right now either since it would still rock the boat a bit.
