Today is July 11th, 2011.

 7/11  
DAY!!!

And we celebrated. 
Slurpee style.
Yes. That’s right.
They each got there own.
A cup full of sugar.
Thank you very much.
I paid for it later with some K-RAZY kids bouncing off the walls.
But it was worth it.

We are down to just 3 more days of school.
Yippee! 
Summer is almost here!

I seriously CAN NOT WAIT.

Last year I decided to be more intentional about our summer. I made up a simple little curriculum and the kids and I had fun in our own little summer homeschool. In doing this I discovered that we accomplished so much more than we would have if we hadn’t done it. By planning ahead we certainly cut down on the “mom I’m bored” complains 🙂
This year I decided to change things up a bit and make a big ol’ list of all the exciting things we want to do this summer. 

So today, Evan and I sat down and listed off a few fun ideas. 

TWO entire hours of peace and quiet for mama…..

Laying in bed and remembering that Daddy can’t drive to school today.
Waking up babe to nurse her quickly.
Cheerios for breakfast.
Driving, four in the backseat.
Shopping for groceries.
Watching my girl as she {accidentally} drops a package of blueberries all over the grocery floor….
