Today was day 1 of summer vacation, and everything went great! I set my alarm to get up at 8:30 because the kids will let me sleep late (as they watch Animal Planet and eat pop tarts) and then we got a move on. I set up some "weekly tasks" yesterday that included some cleaning, picking up, academic work, mail-getting, animal-feeding, and tv watching every day. The kids were really excited to check things off their list this morning (and not get behavior strikes that take away the tv shows!). After we did some chores around the house, we packed a lunch and headed off to Coney Island for a while. Fun!
After a short while at home (where the kids rested, changed clothes, and did some reading and writing) we headed off to dance (Audrey), baseball (Conner), and softball (me). Busy night!
Audrey has a new favorite hairdo... She told me that she wants it like this everyday. I'll update with a picture when I get a chance.
