So it's officially the first day of summer. I'm in HEAVEN!! Let's be honest, summer is waaaaay too short! Not only do I love having my kids home for summer break, but I adore all of the fun 'to-dos' we have made an annual tradition of.
Last year the kids and I came up with our own summer poster packed full of things to do on any given summer day. We even started a few new traditions like "Brothers Day" and "Relax Day", which the kids are already looking forward to again this summer.
Don't get me wrong — there are certainly days and times where I feel like I am going to rip my hair out because of the whining, fighting, and – yes, even injuries – that come along with having a house full of boys. But, by far those pale in comparison to the fun days that summer always seems to bring.
We're already nearly a month into our summer break and have already done so many things – playdates, pools, library, family festivals, baseball games, and more. And yet, there is still so much to be done!
So this year we're keeping it simple by utilizing our dry erase board (which sits in our laundry room) to showcase all that's on the radar for this season. We normally use the board during the school year to put up the kids' drawings, artwork, and school papers with magnets.
I, for one, am happy about the change of scenery.
Of course we still have tons to add to the board, but I think it's a good start for now. Hope you've got some fun summer plans! It's finally here!
