I don't know about you but my summer is once again a busy time of year. I have found myself this week alone working on organizing our garage, planning a 5th year birthday celebration for our 3rd child and trying to lay out plans for next year's homeschooling. I am worn out just talking about it!
Organizing the garage has been a long time in coming. I must say I am overwhelmed with the process but also know that with each step taken, I am one step closer to my goal...a place for everything and no more "now where is that?" Ahhhh. The mere thought is exciting.
Party plans are in full swing. Our girl turns 5 on Saturday. We have made it tradition in our house to have big parties on the 5th. I wish all of the parties could be as grand as our first borns' day but with the addition of each child, the budget has strunk! This party is taking full advantage of the summer season. We have purchased several outdoor games for the kids and the all important (and in this heat needed) slip and slide. We are grilling out and for a little creativity, the kids are going to decorate their own cupcakes.
School plans always fill me with dread (the mundane task of making the plans, deciding the curriculums, etc) but also fills me with excitement. The high hopes of what I want to see done in the year, the fun we will have on that journey and all of the books!! My children find that weird too! :) I have also decided to teach in this year's co-op we are involved in and being the planner I am, I have already started on my list of supplies. Although I am not sure if I am planning this far ahead because I am a planner or in this case because I am a little nervous and want to know it is all planned out so I don't freak out completely the first day.
Hope you will follow along on my summer's journey and beyond.
