Summer To-Dos
It’s true. Summer has been slowly creeping up on us, and we’re not half as ready as we should be. Last year, we had some savings for the dog-days when work is scarce. But that facet doesn’t bother me as much as what to do with the kids to keep them busy during the hottest days – which aren’t even here yet!
The boys and I have a few crafts in store for the summer holidays (i.e. Father’s Day, the solstice, Independence Day). We *should* get on the ball for Father’s Day, which is this weekend!!! I told them that we’d go to the park tomorrow morning, right after “Little Einstein.” I finally have a morning routine… except it revolves around a t.v. show. ::hmph:: Ah, well, the kids know what to expect.
Note to self: Wash diapers as soon as we get home. It’s ideal to get them up to dry for the noon day sun, but I want to beat the noon day sun. I want to get back from the park before it gets really intense.
I can’t WAIT for the solstice. Why do the days have to be so long? I suppose it’s the price we pay for comfy winters.The boys are having a hard time going to bed at 8pm. They are up 1.5-2.5 hours after bedtime, hanging out, playing farm. Then, they are up at the crack of dawn. How do they do that? All without a nap in between. Good heavens! If only there were a way to harness that energy… use it to run the a/c.

I’ve been checking Taylor’s gums. “She’s teething,” says everybody when she starts to fuss or drool with her fingers in her mouth. Then, she’s been teething for three months now if drooling is a sign of teething.
No actual teeth, though. Just plain-looking gums… and a fetching smile!
