No school = more fun?

How do you really sum up summer vacation? Some days are so much fun you don't want them to end. And then there are other days. I must report how different this summer is already with 3 kids. Maddie is so grown up now, she insists on using glass-ware at meal times. No more plastic character plates. Really, I think we're onto something, because it'll take up a lot less room in the cupboard!

And Hailey, being the 1 year and 1 week old that she is, is getting into everything. Did I block out this stage with the other two? It's fun, but when I'm trying to get something done - say, mealtime, or sweeping the floor, for example -- it's a pain. Speaking of sweeping the floor ... that's another chore that picks up during the summer, apparently. Yesterday I swept the kitchen eight times and vacuumed once. How is that possible you might ask? Me too.

This week really starts the summer adventure, though. The 3rd of July is the big picnic at my aunt's cottage, and next week will be day camp, then road trip in mid-July. Swimming lessons when we return, and we're already into August. Let's not wish away the summer. I'll just think about this current week, ok?

Today's mini-adventure was to the town park with a friend. It's fun, just a lot more work with all the kids. And let's just remember I'm a much happier girl with caffeine!
