i don't wish my kids were back in school. this has been the longest summer vacation they have ever had; due to a mild winter and zero snow days used, they got an entire extra week off. add to that the august calendar puts them in school a few days later than usual and i get to enjoy my kids extra. the days are long and hot. they complain about being bored. sometimes they fight. sometimes they fight a lot. but if i don't play now, i will never get back this time. live up your summer vacation WITH your kids, not near them.
imagine.
play.
bike.
swim.
spray the hose.
hike.
wash the dog.
make pudding paintings on paper plates - and then eat them with graham crackers.
watch bugs.
bake cookies.
crush chalk and paint the driveway.
dress up together and go shopping in costume.
play wii bowling.
go real bowling.
freeze small dollar store toys in tupperware ice blocks and melt them in the afternoon sun with squirt guns.
