I think I could write a post every year about the first day of summer break, and it would come out relatively the same. I would first list everything we've done all day, and then I would end by saying something like... and it's only 10:00 a.m.
The first day of summer break is the longest day of the year - even though I try my hardest to make it not so.
Now let me tell you everything we've done today (which, by the time I post this, will actually be yesterday - Friday, June 3 - because I already posted today, so I'm saving this one for tomorrow which is now today).
-We had a 2.5 earthquake at 5:02 a.m. Luckily my kids didn't hear or feel it.
-I went for a 3.25 mile walk
-I went grocery shopping
-We did a half hour of chores as a family
-The kids had a half hour of YouTube time
-I went through all of our board games - reorganized them and got rid of some.
-I cleaned out and reorganized our storage room
-I did two loads of laundry, and Nicky did a load of laundry
-We ran errands:
-Took the grocery bags to the recycling bin
-Dropped off our library books
-Went to Krispy Kreme to get free donuts for National Donut Day
-Dropped off some puzzles to a friend
-Went on a shopping spree at Dollar Tree
-Went to Harbor Freight
-I watered the garden
-Daisy had a friend over
-I fed the kids lunch... like, three times
-Zoe and Eva played outside in the sprinkler
-Zoe and I made about 50 mini freezer waffles... which Zoe ate faster than we could get them out of the waffle makers (we ran two at a time)
-I worked on my 4th of July puzzle
-The kids built some wooden animal puzzles
-I listened to half an audiobook
-The kids had at least three hours of TV and Nintendo time
-I compiled a trunk load of items to donate to DI
-I strung our Summer of Heroes banners
-I wrote this blog post
Fortunately, it's not 10:00 a.m. It's 2:16 p.m.
But still... longest day of the year!
