Why I love summer break: no setting my alarm (I still get up early with the baby, but not as early)
no packing school lunches
doing whatever we feel like doing all day- no schedules
spending time with the kids
watching them bring home a bucket full of crayfish from the creek
walking to Russell Stovers to have ice cream for lunch
spending all day in my pj's if I feel like it (while secretly being terrified that someone will stop by unannounced and think I do that everyday)
movie marathons
seeing my Dad and Grandma
bbq's
park days
watching the kids play with the neighbor kids, being thankful that they have good friends and are good friends in return
lemonade stands
bike rides
dandelion bouquets from my kids
seeing how excited my husband is about camping
Why I don't love summer break:
it's hot
having the neighbor kids ring my doorbell 36 times everyday to see if the kids can come play
hearing my son scream in horror because the dogs just ate all the crayfish out of the bucket
swim suit season
roly poly farms in my tupperware
getting frustrated and overwhelmed easily because the kids are home ALL DAY LONG (I've been known to hide in my car in the garage)
sweaty little boy smell
nursing bee stings
crying when my Dad leaves
7 a.m. swim meets.
Here's to another fabulous school year!
