Mom, we LOVE summer but hate being bored...

I remember those days...i tell my kiddos they are lucky to have each other..."when I was a kid... (blah, blah, blah)"

So we have been doing a lot packin' up and hangin' out.  We have also been doing some math, journaling, and reading...which also brings about some complaining too.  The majority of the time they appreciate having me give them some work that they must complete and then move on with their day.  Today, not so much agreement to the idea.  I just keep telling them I can't have their brains turn to mush...that would really be gross and to that I get "the eye treatment" as my Dad so lovingly calls it.  You know, the rolling of the eyes that our generation started when we were teens and now have to endure.  The problem is I was the one who taught it to them as I still do it and I must say I am a great teacher.  The do it so well, especially my preteen.  Oh the joys.....
 
We have also been TRYIN' to get to the beach.  The weather has not been very cooperative.  I guess a lot of people have been dealing with the same thing and not just here.  The thunderstorms are horrendous lately.  So I guess we will just keep on packin', hangin' and homework and when we finally get to the beach it will be an even better treat!

Happy Summer!
