Happy Summer Days

LAST. DAY. OF. SCHOOL!!!!

(That's gotta be like holiday or something, yeah?)

 But, I was seriously stressed out about all the extra cooking and cleaning that was heading my way -- so, we had to lay down some ground rules (in a fun, Summer-y, school is over!!! way, of course): 

A box of Donuts! 
 

It was a big hit - and the kiddos were even on board with keeping our Summer as structured as possible:

YUM!

Then we set up the tent for a First-Night-Of-The-Summer camp out (in the backyard).  They were so very excited.  And I realized how close we live to the train tracks - as trains were blowing their horns all freaking night long!!  (They have never kept me awake before when I'm inside)!


And now that I've finally posted this - we only have about 4 weeks left to our Summer Vacation!  CRAZY!!

I just love reading all your posts about all the fun things you guys are doing! I like your donut idea! Cute! I can't believe we are in the home stretch of Summer. It makes me a little sad. :( Can't wait to see what else you guys have been up to! :)

Totally LOVED this idea. Hope I remember it for next year, or maybe I'll bend it somehow for the first of the school year:)
