I am so excited!! It seems summers are getting shorter and the school year longer. So by the time the end of the year comes I am so happy for it to be over. No more homework battles, no more finding socks and shoes in the morning and no more making lunches until lunchtime!!
I do wish that summers for my kids were more like the ones I had as a kid. I remember hopping on my bike after breakfast and not returning home until lunch. Then I was back out again until dinner.
I don't feel comfortable letting my kids play in the driveway without adult supervision. Forget riding their bikes around the neighborhood or to a friends house. There's also the fact that we live where it gets up to 115 degrees on any given day in the summer.
So heres to SUMMER!!
