(this photo is how you keep them from wandering around saying 'what are we going to do today')

Today is the 1st day of summer for us! Went to Denny's for breakfast to celebrate; Maggie completed her SIX MONTHS of vision therapy but will get assessments after a few months. She has maintenance exercises to do over the summer.

Next week starts swim lessons for A&I (2 wks.) along with dance recital(s). On 7/9, M&S will start swim lessons. Then we have VBS along with my kitchen remodel starting. Then we have family vacation in Newport Beach (all the OH family is coming to CA). We are planning to hit the beach with school friends on Wed. of each week and I'm planning to head to 29Palms and AZ at some point in Aug. for a little bit (while my kitchen is still wonky) but it will be tough b/c Sean starts football practice and DH is head coaching. It seems like we are really busy but the commitments are for small parts of the day (like an hr. for swim or 1/2 day for VBS).

We're going to do the summer reading club at the library so I can focus on improving overall reading skills (or at least not letting them crumble). We are doing the Summer Bridging Books also. How is it that I have 4gr., 2gr., Kindergartener, and a preschooler??????? Tues./Thurs. in the fall will be either really busy with errands or REALLY quiet here.
