Then go back at the end of August... anyway, also sounds like the weather is later & crappier everywhere... we've finally had 3 days of decent weather... last week we were having frost warnings which is very very wrong for June! But it'll change soon... oh yes it will!<br />Anyway, good luck with keeping the kids occupied... and you too! Just think, only about a month til you're gone for a few days at convention!<br />LaurelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231571105328335722.post-40383501940782880772009-06-10T19:33:53.978-05:002009-06-10T19:33:53.978-05:00Of course I meant to say "with pictures ON Sa...Of course I meant to say "with pictures ON Saturday"everydayMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05812990338739856399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231571105328335722.post-36439361760242928722009-06-10T19:32:43.398-05:002009-06-10T19:32:43.398-05:00Gretta, Thanks for the head's up about GymQues...Gretta, Thanks for the head's up about GymQuest. We haven't been there!<br /><br />Emily, I will bring my planners and my chore chart with pictures no Saturday!<br /><br />Carrie, Oh, yes... nothing like a trip to the mail box for a little excitement... especially when the kids drop the mail and it starts flying all over the yard. <br /><br />Jenny, we do love to read, too. We go through so many books in the summer. It's so fun. Penderwicks is a favorite of ours, too!<br /><br />I'm done being grumpy about the rain. Amazing how once the sun does come out it completely changes one's attitude!everydayMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05812990338739856399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231571105328335722.post-16980643017308408452009-06-10T14:02:36.241-05:002009-06-10T14:02:36.241-05:00If you use that B word (bored) at my house in the ...If you use that B word (bored) at my house in the summer you have to choose an extra chore from the bored list. So I'm pretty sure it's time for you to get on a plane and make your way to Washington. Sorry to say we have had 70-90 degree weather for 3 weeks now and the kids are still in school. In the past we have always said that it stops raining on July 5th and starts again Sep. 1st. <br /><br />My favorite thing to do with kids your ages in the summer? Library. Find a good book, bring it home pop popcorn on the stove and cover it with real butter and read to them aloud. Harry Potter is great for this and so are the Penderwicks! Patricia Riley Giff, Patricia Pollaco, Horrible Harry, and you cannot survive without the Magic Tree House! I love to read aloud to my kids! <br /><br />Good Luck, I'll be thinking about you while I slather lotion on my sunburn.

Maybe the sun has been waiting for us! That must be it. Thanks for the comment on my amazon post. It is fun to know people do read things. Sorry it was such a horribly written post. I re-read it and was like this is why I shouldn't post while attempting to put babies down for naps. <br /><br />I LOVE your idea on how to make the chore list. I will have to get creative since Ava can't read and get pictures for her chores. <br /><br />Do you have a planner that I can browse through? Maybe on Saturday????hellolittlepeepershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488812411605861730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231571105328335722.post-31598815729770578082009-06-10T11:15:01.626-05:002009-06-10T11:15:01.626-05:00Ditto Emily!!!!!!
