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
