Summer is here

School's out and it's summertime. YEAH! I actually do enjoy summer. I love the heat. I love being outside. I love going to the pool every day. I love picking up after my kids after they change their clothes from swimsuit to regular clothes and again to swimsuit (okay, THAT I don't like). Every year I think I need to have more constructive activities for the kids so they don't get bored. So, this year Brad (my 12 year old son) and I decided that we are going to a specific activity every day. Some will be fun, others not so fun. I am posting them because the probability of us doing it after writing them down goes up and telling them to friends, it even goes up higher (accountability).

Mondays-Cooking day (usually a dessert for FHE)

Tuesdays-Movie day (summer movies at the Cinemark in AF for only $5 a kid for 10 movies)

Wednesdays-Outdoor chores (weeding, mowing, harvesting the gardens)




Thursdays-Learn something new (new museums, academics, library)

Fridays-Fun day outside, sports, misc

Saturdays-Indoor chores

Sundays-Games and company

I am hoping that these activities will be in the morning before lunch and then we will time for swimming after lunch. Of course, with the summer comes flexibility. That is what is so great about summer! What are you doing this summer?
