Actually, I am ready to be done with homework, school projects, school deadlines and early bus pickups.
In reality, our summer does resemble a little bit of school activity. We get the English reading list for the upcoming year and also (if possible) the videos that go along with them.
Hence the cartoon at the left.....To Kill a Mockingbird is on our 9th grade reading list and we will be getting the video to watch as well. I am actually looking forward to watching the video as it is one of my favorites.
We also will be re-watching the "Model Me Kids" videos on making friendships, starting conversations, bullying and high school. If you haven't seen these videos before, please check them out...they are absolutely fabulous and also have videos for younger kiddos as well. It is lovingly called "Mommy's Social Skills Bootcamp"...yep, I live with comedians.
We also plan to teach our girls how to play euchre. Considering how poorly I play, we will teach them how NOT to play like mom :) However there is a Euchre Club at our high school and it might be a social club for our girl to join....you play and chat with your friends.
We also go for walks, sleep late, sometimes stay in our jammies all day, eat lots of icecream, listen to rock and roll while we do house chores and stay up late....life is good!
What things do you have planned for summer?
