Summer Vacation Day One

  • The kids built blanket forts in the family room
  • We had a family meeting (except for Rob, he was at work) and wrote on the calendar the things we want to do this summer
  • Drove 27 miles each way to get a pair of glasses left at a water park on a field trip
  • Had a discussion about consequences with my son regarding why I was making him pay me gas money for the trip there
  • Stopped at Barnes & Noble to pick up their summer reading program for the kids
  • We looked around and wrote out titles of books we like in preparation for a trip to the library tomorrow. I could never afford to buy enough to keep them busy all summer.
  • Mailed back a Netflix DVD
  • Got my Mother’s Day present from The Vintage Pearl. I love it! I’ve been wanting a mother’s necklace for years and Rob gave me a card on Mother’s Day that told me I should order up the one I liked.
  • Ate lunch – pizza tortillas
  • We all read and rested
  • Washed three loads of  laundry
  • Brought Emma to a swim activity
  • Decided it must be allergies that are making Hannah’s eyes water and making her feel sick.
  • Gave Hannah some Benadryl
  • Made the kids clean up their forts and did chores
  • Listened to lots of fuss from a certain youngest child
  • Vowed that tomorrow we will work first, and play later
  • Hunter sent out emails for his “Bake Sale.”  He’s making, selling, and delivering yummy treats.
  • Made stroganoff for dinner
  • Welcomed home Daddy
  • Decided maybe it’s not allergies, because after a nap, Hannah still has a tummy ache
  • Watched some Veggie Tales with the kids

Bedtime now, and we’ll see what tomorrow brings
