The first week of summer break was very relaxing and full.
I deep cleaned our bedroom, dining room and kitchen! I went through my clothes and made my 10 item spring wardrobe that I love. And we tried a new craft--wood burning. We also went and visited Our Fathers Farm for their farm day and Reuben had his first piano performance.
We did a lot of resting.
I realized all our hand towels were missing (where did they go?) and I ordered new hand drying towels for the downstairs bathroom. Yes, this counts as a milestone. I'm almost forty.
The pool opens this weekend!
I did the normal existential crisis of who am I when I'm not homeschooling? What am I going to do with myself? And I'll be happy to leave that part of summer break behind as we head into week two...I am an artist, a writer, someone who loves to knit and crochet but even I have bad days. I do not need to watch 75 tiny videos a day... no matter what my dopamine receptors say. Out with the screen time and mindless scrolling! We will have an ordered and beautiful summer outdoors and there will be delicious snacks, books and board games.
The kids did a lot of jewelry making while I cooked this week. I wanted to do some too but couldn't find the time! We also did two days of karate and went to Cecily's birthday party...that I posted about earlier.
It was such a beautiful week. I am so blessed, and God is so good. Thanking him for homeschooling breaks and for warm weather, for sun tea and lemonade and chocolate cake and good books.
And ice cream. It's 90 today and we just finished Barton lessons with grandma and I'm about to do an Amazon return and it's right next to the ice cream shop.
