Is it time for school to start yet?

I am so ready for summer to end!!! I love my kiddos but oh my goodness...boredom has set in and if i hear my girls whine one more time i'm going to go CRAZY!

Did i mention it is waaay to hot to even go outside esp with my fussbutt Brayden? Just had to vent...

Just wanted to say a quick hello as i haven't been around much--trying to keep these kids actively engaged.

my little cousins are out on summer break and i went down there the other day (they are rich) mansion with a pool, lakehouse, beach cabin, dune buggy, horse and on and on...
AND- they were bored! Whatever! LOL
i think its a lost cause - the kiddos will always be bored on summer break!

Good luck Sheila

Sheila, I feel your pain! I haven't had more than one kid in school yet, but in a couple of months both Summer and Emily will be and I CAN'T WAIT! They fight constantly lately and I feel like I can't offer up enough activities to keep them from keeling over with boredom. I love them to bits, but I am so ready for them to go to school! Well, that and I can't wait to buy them cute new school clothes. I am such a girly mom!

I have Kaila going to a two day a week program for 3 hours and i'm beyond excited! In those 6 hours with just Brayden my house will actually stay clean.

Oh and grocery shopping with just one...pure heaven!

Just wanted to wish you a good luck on getting through the summer!

At the moment I am glad Shayla is off. I actually had a nap yesterday while Bella was sleeping. Shayla is very good at keeping Kayda entertained, and Kayda loves her.

I am so NOT ready for school to start. I'm always the opposite because we homeschool and with June over, I know we start again next month already and I am SO not ready! I always joke that I am more anxious for Summer than the kids are! LOL I actually like having the help that my older ones offer with the younger ones when they aren't busy with school work. So, although I hope that time slows down a bit for us, I hope your Summer goes quickly for you! ;-)

- KL. Just lock em in the basement, that'll do the trick

Sheila- do you have a craft store nearby? Maybe you could let them pick out something artsy to do. That gets my attention for hours!!!

LOL!!
I totally feel your guys' ain. I love Jaiden more than life itself but onfg, I am SO ready to ship him to school. I am liking the no rush mornings though. :{

Oh yeah...totally loving the "no rush" mornings and not having to be consistent with a bedtime. I just dread the meltdown hours before dinner. We have been having rainstorms in the afternoons contributing to the boredorm. Argh!
