So we've entered the countdown. This is the last week of school for my 4th grader and 1st grader. The excitement is building and their energy level is increasing with thoughts of summer freedom just days away. They have grand plans too- swim 18 hours of the day and eat popsicles til their heads freeze off, sleepovers every week, and stay up until the wee hours of the night just because they can. Cake for dinner, ice cream for breakfast, oh the JOY of summer break! Oh the disappointment that will reign when I step in and have to say those horribly ugly words..."I don't think so." LOL!
But seriously, I am so looking forward to summer. First of all, I don't have to rush around each morning convincing a 10 year old boy that, yes, you still need a shower today even though you took one yesterday, or trying to contain my composure as a seven year old tells me she knows she put her shoes in the closet even though they are no longer there. No lunches to make, no homework to check. Summer is a time for some Mom freedom too!
So here's to a fun, relaxing, non-scheduled summer full of pool parties, a couple camps with friends, a few sleepovers, a trip or two, a handful of popsicle brain freezes and maybe, just maybe, some cake for dinner fun! Have a safe and happy summer!!
