So my son can count on small but fun things I plan at home for the last day of school before Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. I get a movie we have never seen, Root Beer Floats are a MUST, and a fun dinner. For us this year I am having to improvise since we have Pack Meeting for Boy Scouts and we won't be home until 8. I am so bummed we look forward to this every year. Pity Party Over!
However, I have 6 weeks (we are year round remember) to plan and keep my kids happy and distracted. The pool and the ever obvious Swim Team will keep us going. However, when we are what hose who gets them. I call Water Logged. I need more ideas. That is where Pinterest comes in. Now, we are all prone to a Pinterest Fail, myself is for sure a Mom who has had A LOT of those.
I am planning weekly trips to the library, science experiments (2 a week), cooking fun (I suggest doing this during different times of day for different meals). My son wants to help with dinner first, so he will be in charge of planning the menu. I will guide him for budget purposes, slicing if needed, etc. We are planning a few mother and son dates nights to talk about books we are reading.
I am super excited that Harkins does a summer movie program and I can get 10 movies for 5 bucks. That is a Friday thing so I can't wait. Check your local theater, at 10 AM they do a showing of a repeat kid's movie and the tickets are SUPER CHEAP. Great way to escape the heat for us (In AZ it will be a scorcher this summer)
What ideas do yo have for summer break. All mom's need help in this area because when you hit that wall, you need reinforcements!
Have a great eveing!
