...My Kids were Driving Me Up the Wall!
Seriously the very 1st day of Summer Break I was literally in tears. They were at each other's throats fighting & already complaining about being bored constantly. And YES they had chore lists & there were NO punishments or bribing with rewards that were working. So what did I do? ....I called up my Mom and said something like this: "I need you need to come pick up your Granddaughter, (who shall remain nameless) before she gets kicked out of my house!" Let's just say that Grandma Kathy saved her that day. {*TRUE STORY*}
~Once we got into our Summer-Break routine, things calmed down and it all got a little better. We made sure & did something every day during the break.
{Some of things we did (repeatedly) to keep busy:}
*SWAM in Neighbors, Friends & Family's Pools:

| Spence getting thrown in.. |
*Went to the Cheap Morning Kids Movies @ Harkins:
(once a week)
*Took Swimming Lessons:
*Went to the Splash Pads:
*And Rode around on the Tractor with Dad:
*Went to the Library:
*Played with Friends & Cousins:
*And Rode around on the Tractor with Dad:
The Summer actually whizzed by which is what you want it to do
when it's at least 110 degrees out every day.
Now back to Air Conditioned Schools...!
~I actually am now looking forward to our 2 week off Break in October with the fam when the weather is cool(er).~

My kids love to climb up the door jams. It's so funny!
Sounds like a perfect summer! I can't wait for fall break either---and the cooler temperatures (fingers crossed).
I'm so glad your children's well being was negotiated during the first week ofk summer break too. Mine was for about a month though. We finally started doing fun stuff in July.
I love all your picts, I can't believe your baby is over a year old, where has the time gone?
