I'll post more later, just wanted to say that I talked to SIL and they cannot go earlier b/c MIL doesn't get out of work until 7pm. So I gave in. I hate to be the bad guy and my kids adore their cousins and will have way more fun at CEC with them than they would watching a bunch of adults kick each others' a@@
H goes out of town during the week starting after July 4, so I will have other opportunities to take S4 with me.
Not to mention, I don't have a choice in the matter. Like I said, H is going to break his neck to get home in time to take the kids whether I intend to go or not, so why fight it????
