LONG DAYS

I have a feeling this summer will be one of my hardest. Lots of kids home. Different ages. And I'm sure I will just want to nap all day. I had a small glimpse of it this week. We had ONE day off from school. Kids woke up early, did their chores, and were like "what are we doing today?" Ummmm. They wanted to go to: a museum, the zoo, a movie, etc. So what did this cool Mom do? None of those. I took them to the base gym. They actually loved it. We brought a volleyball and a basketball. We ran laps, played sports, and finally let them go to the kids area. It worked and wore everyone out, especially me. It might be a recurring theme this summer. A safe, cool, place for all of us.
