Last Day of School
I’m extremely sad today. My boys are growing up. No more kindergartner for 2 years (and then I’ll REALLY cry!). Not to mention that my kids are about to wreak havoc on my life for the next 3 months! I absolutely love having them home but — let’s be honest — I’m not going to enjoy cleaning even MORE than I already am for showings, etc. I think we’ll be playing outside. A lot. I think I might pull out some summer plans that we made last year that we never got around to doing for one reason or another. The kids had some great ideas:
- talent show
- visiting an old folks’ home
- plant a garden (we’ve put off too long thinking we’re moving)
- surprise a family with cookies
- study birds
- visit a farmer’s market
- make homemade syrup night (elderberries, anyone?)
- pumpkin patch
- art night at a museum
- bike night
- rolfson track & field
- numbers night (I don’t even remember what this is!!!)
- tent in the backyard
- camping
- dance night
- cooking night
- campfire night
- no tv week
- reading night (okay, so we practically do this one every night)
Not a bad list to start, right? I’m going to aim low - one special thing a week. I can handle that!
