The first few days of summer break are always the best. It feels like the fun, relaxation, and down time will last forever. While I love teaching, I truly appreciate some time off where my To Do List consists of focusing on my children and some neglected organizational needs around the house.
Yesterday, Mallory wrote a story while I was on the treadmill. I'm really proud of her emerging writing skills!
"Once there was an owl in a tree."
Mallory wanted very much to read her story to Savannah.
A fun task...set-up the swimming pool! We upgraded from 22 inches to 30 inches deep this year. :) Just the right size for Isaiah and Mallory to be able to splash around while Tim and I relax on the patio. I'm hoping I'll be able to find a small raft to float on instead of just sinking to the shallow bottom.
When Mom is a teacher, the poor kids will have to spend some time this summer keeping up their reading, writing, and math skills. (More on this in a future post!)
Even as summer is just beginning, my mind is already thinking ahead to the next school year. I hope that I am able to find a balance between relaxation, fun, and productivity. Here's to hoping my summer plans are not interrupted by a failing sump pump...like they were last year. :/
