Some of you who read this blog aren't a 70's baby like me, but I have always sang this song, "School's Out For The Summer" in my head every year for as long as I can remember. Courtesy of Alice Cooper, circa 1972. I think I sang it louder than ever this year after all of those hectic mornings getting out the door at 7:00am to make the 45- minute commute to Blake's school, then on 3 days the additional 20+ minutes to Dane's school. I'm not sure I can say I got used to it, but I did it. Every. Single. Morning. And to say I am pumped to have the boys home with me this summer would be an understatement! I do have to do it again next year (hopefully not if our house sells and we get to rent closer), but I am not going to think about it for quite awhile.
We are looking forward to a fun summer playing outside, going to the outdoor YMCA pool and to the pool in the neighborhood next to ours (yes, thanks to no pool in our neighborhood. still.), going to the zoo, the library, and I'm sure many other fun places! I am also continuing with a structured day here at home with circle time, worksheets, activities related to a weekly theme, and reading time. Mimi (my Mom) is coming to visit this coming weekend, the first week in July and the first week of August with Papa..and I'm sure lots of play dates with friends! Here's to many fun days in the sun with your family, and some rest and relaxation we all deserve!
