School officially ended for our kids this past week. I really think that I am looking forward to summer more than they are. No more lunches to make, no more class projects, no more field trips on which to drive, no more conferences, no more cupcakes to make and send in for this, that and the other thing... just plain old summer fun, playing capture the flag and kick the can, riding bikes all day, swimming at the lake and ocean until waterlogged, ice cream and slushes, sleeping in the back yard in a tent, building a tree fort. And on and on... Yippie!... Well...
What I have to remember is the transition: the 2 weeks it takes the kids to get used to "no schedule", and no structure (for the most part) and none of the formality that kept them busy or occupied. The "I'm bored" happens. The sibling fights 'cause now they see a lot of each other and the food consumption... ooooooeeeee!
So, 2 weeks. Then summer fun really begins. Then you can lay in the back yard with the kids at 10 PM and listen and watch the light show... Aaahhhh, summer!
