Day 1 of summer was a SUCCESS!

What a great day!  I tried really hard to not get distracted by any projects and focus on staying organized today.  It worked!  Kids got up and did their chores.  Each one has a specific chore they have to do before they go play.  They also have to eat breakfast and brush their teeth.  Seems like common sense...not to them.  We also have a summer rule of not electronics from 9:00am to 7:00pm.  The kids can earn an hour of playing time during the day if they do a reading/comprehensive worksheet with me.  Both boys happily earned an extra hour.

Maya had her first tutor session at the library.  She loved it and the boys sat quietly (ok, maybe not quietly) doing their summer workbooks. Adam and I had our second golf lesson together.  It's so fun.  Adam especially likes that it's just us.  I do too!  Jack starts hockey tomorrow.

Other than the kids sports and day camps, we are hoping to go to the pool a lot.  Maya has swimmers ear so she has to stay out of the pool for a few days.  Our patio is almost finished.  The kids are super excited to have fires, smores, and camp in the back yard.

Summer 2016!

Three years later...

A lot has happened in the last few years.  The two major events are we now live in Minnesota and Lola died.  I'm not going to go on and on about all that has happened, so my blog posts will be as though I didn't miss three years.

Summer is here!  Today is the first day of our summer vacation.  We have lots of activities scheduled.  I don't like to overbook the kids, but I also don't like when they are home all day bored fighting each other.

Today we meet Maya's tutor at the library at noon.  Then later at 5:30 Adam and I have a parent/child golf lesson.  So fun!

A few years later...

Coming soon...
