What is there to do on hot summer days? When you're 7 months pregnant, nothing that requires leaving the house!
We just got back from vacation last Tuesday, and did not homeschool the rest of the week when we got home, so the kids have been BORED. I've been busy planning next school year, printing out books that I need to put together, and making a chore chart that is much more than JUST a chore chart (I'll explain with pictures later)... which, to me, is a whole lot of fun. However, the kids have been unhappy. So, back to the grind on Monday. Math, phonics, writing, reading, piano, and chores keep us all very, very busy and feeling like we've accomplished something during the day.
What do other people do who don't homeschool during the summer?
It's not all school and chores around here. We do go to the pool every other evening, but it is closing soon (beginning of August) because the public school is starting up. And they watch their fair share of movies and play outside during free time. Its just that TOO much free time gets so boring. I think they're excited to do school next week. I know I am!
It was so fun to spend so much of your vacation time with us. I know we're not a lot of fun, but I sure did enjoy you and the kids.
