I don’t know where you are, but around here we have 4 more days of school. (Thinking about this for the final day.)
In some ways I cannot wait.
In some ways, I’m a leetle nervous.
You may have seen some of these calendars on Pinterest to help you theme your days…instead of endless stretches of nothingness. Which can lead to bickering. The boys can be rough, too.
Here is our rough draft for the summer:
Make Something Monday: Recipe, craft, build something, science project
Trip Tuesday: Library, Museums, Art Camp, Park, Cheap Theater
Wet Wednesday: Swim, Water Balloons, Water guns
Thoughtful Thursday: Write letters, make cookies, serve people
Fun Friday: Pinterest ideas, Play dates, H2O Days at the Zoo
Dance Par-tay
