We are sitting in the middle of summer break. This summer break has been anything but "taking it easy." We have done so much since they got out three weeks ago. We've been to Zion national park, Disneyland, the zoo, SeaWorld, etc... We have a camping trip planned, and some beach days. We have also been blessed with my sister who has been visiting us for the last couple of weeks from Maryland. She has two little girls a 10month old, and 2 1/2year old. We have a house full of little munchkins.
The one thing that I dont' care for that much during our summer break is the homework that they were given. They have six weeks off and they are suppose to read three chapter books a week, with an hour of online math a week. So it's about 20 min. a day of math. I have two kids that have to do this along with a soon be kindergartner that has his spanish immersion preperation work to do. I should just sign-up for homeschooling now. Maybe I should think about that - Ummm... no...
The kids are changing so much, watching my sister with her little ones has made me see that my little baby time has flown by me. I did have the crazy thought of wanting one more but having the litlte ones here the last couple of weeks has made me realize how much I truly love my independency as they are getting older.
There really have been a lot of changes, almost too many too list. J is getting ready to enter third grade, S is going to second, M is starting kindergarten and I have one more left in preschool.
We are still battling our day to day issues with all of them. I wish I could write that S has dramatically improved but the truth is, things have changed and it seems like they are becoming more and more evident in her day to day life.
