School's Out...for...summer!

Yes.  It's arrived.  The last day of school.

Madeline had two half days this week and finished on Tuesday, much to her brother's chagrin (he finished with a whole day today).

So now starts the search to keep them occupied.  They have a lot going on in July, but I expect the first "I'm boooooorrreeed" to surface some time tomorrow.

We're lucky that we live, literally, around the corner from a quiet park with a great summer rec program.  That should help.  Friends, bikes, basketball hoop and a big lawn with a swing set and fort will help.  Books, puzzles, games, swimming and crafts.  That will be a good distraction.

I work from home, so I expect a few "hush!" and "shhhhh" to escape my lips.  But they're kids filled with awesome sauce so I know this summer will rock.
