Or the count down to chaos! but fun chaos cause I will have my kids back! School is over for the year. My oldest boys are moving on to the next grade. Today is a 1/2 day and I think it's just fun, running and playing with kids. We opted to send the kids to school so they could have that day of playing. My kids live a bit out of town from their school so getting out and playing is super important when you are 6 and almost 9!
Summer plans for us are all about the Vegging out and me getting my confidence on! I need to learn to take 3 kids to the beach without daddy, cause Daddy has to go to work, (insert snicker)...Sun Sand and sunscreen, Shorts, Snacks and Sitting and maybe some swimming.
When Summer ends, that's when I get my itch on to get back to my Island. I don't know why or what it is, maybe it's the release from school routines, the release from needing to be here M-F? but it's an itch and it's not going away. We hope to make our way to my family cottage as well, the boys will of course LOVE that, outdoors, running, less rules and bed times with stretched limits. I hope the stretched limits will result in stretched mornings too. I think TJ will totally understand the idea of sleeping in, but AJ and MJ will be more interested in truck time, sand time, swimming time and waking up TJ time. Sometimes it's fun to wake up your oldest brother just to hear him yell, scream and be cranky.
My plan for the summer to relax the rules enough to have fun while still keeping a line on routines that are doable. We'll see how that goes.
So there it is ON with Summer!!!
