Oh, the SUMMER we’ll have!
Summer Vacation is upon us.
I nearly started panicking this morning …
knowing I needed a plan … before the last day of school arrived.
The kids are eager.
Hannah wants to go to seven peaks tomorrow – the last day of school.
With me and all 5 kids.
Whoa-nelly.
Let’s have a plan, sister.
We’ll do fun things this summer…
but we’re also going to work… read… stay at home… chill… sleep…
This is our plan (subject to change on a daily basis depending on Mom’s abilities)
I saw this idea on Pinterest to make lists for each area.
We’re just going to put a few things in each category … and we MIGHT get to all of them. Might.
I really am glad to have the kids home all summer.
Hannah and Abe are good helpers.
As crazy as it gets around here, I like keeping the tots close by.
It’s nice to have chill time to read/play and enjoy the sunshine and blue skies.
Great idea! I just might copy you and draw one up for us. I love the idea of giving a child a weekly task of baseboards. Hmmm….
One thing I also want to do for my kids is set up a Clark Family Summer Reading Program. With fun prizes (visiting a new place, a snowcone, playdate, trip to the store, etc). I have a kid who hates to read (my oldest), a kid to loves to read and is way above his level (my 2nd), and a kid to is learning to read and likes it so far (Lacy). I need to keep them reading this summer and keep excitement up…and in Braden’s case start excitement. That kid will hate middle school in August if he doesn’t start changing his attitude with reading!
Love this idea!
P.S. I love all your ideas. :)
