Summertime!

The summer begins......

So here we are again....a summer to entertain 3 boys of different ages all day and everyday for the next two months.  I feel a little overwhelmed with the thought but am trying to be positive and creative!  I entrust teachers to educate and entertain my children 9 months out of the year so the least I can do is offer my kids the same creative educational activities for just 2 months.  I CAN DO IT!

But how?  Perhaps bowling, mini golf, swimming, bookstore, rock climbing, zoo, Sea Life aquarium, the mall, ice skating and the movies.  Not sure those are all educational but its a start.  And maybe workbooks and flashcards?  This year I am having Jonathan and Jacob start their own blogs.  This will work their writing and typing skills and hopefully they will read my blog as well as others to fulfill their summer reading.  But how will we practice math skills?

But besides the education I would like them to get and the exercise I want them to do each day...I also want them to have time to play and be together and laugh and be silly.  I want to take the time to be silly with them.  Its hard and when I have so much work to do this month....I know its important and as soon as I blink- the summer will be over!

Wish me luck!
