The big 3 got out of school last week. Today marks the start of a summer at home with them. I'm looking at this with a mixture of dread and excitement. Last summer we were in Vegas. They had friends and were busy constantly. Now we are in our new home. We don't know any of our neighbors, none of them seem to have kids.
I have visions of this summer being wonderful, with it being just the family. Of the kids finding out that their siblings can be friends too, and all of us swimming, and playing games, and watching cartoons together on the couch in a big puppy pile.
And maybe we will all start a singing group and I'll make us all matching outfits out of the curtains, and we'll be just like the VonTrapp family.
The reality is that they will be chomping at the bit soon to "go do something" because they are "bored" and there is "nothing to do".
Sigh

Rowan doesn't get out of school until Wednesday. She "graduated" last Wednesday and had a week of school left. /eye roll
Deirdre is in summer school for PE because 3 weeks of summer school = one full semester. So 3 weeks this summer and 3 weeks next summer and she'll have her PE requirements finished for high school.
My oldest is looking for a job. I'm stressing over this. It's like they are all slowly slipping away...
Tyler is heading to spend time with his Papa & Grandma this summer, where Papa has a summer job waiting for him. I know how hard it is to have them moving forward and away from you!
