Summertime, Summertime, Sum-sum-summertime!

So, it's summer. School's out, piano lessons are done, the piano recital is over. No sports, no activities, no projects, reports or homework of any sort.

We're spending most of our time thus far not doing anything very important. Swimming, watching movies, playing video games, bowling. It's wonderful. I love summer vacation. I look forward to it every year.

This is our weekly schedule, though, since it's summer, we aren't married to it:

Monday: Library day, swim.

Tuesday: Free Movie, swim.

Wednesday: Other Free Movie, swim.

Thursday: Nothing in the morning, friends over to swim in the afternoon.

Friday: Free Bowling, swim.

There's a lot of free stuff to do where we live. A local movie theater shows two free G & PG movies on Tue, Wed, & Thur mornings. The two movies change each week, so you have three days to catch them. The library is always free and is full of, well, books! A local bowling alley gives out free passes to the local schools good for one game each day for the entire summer. And the school district got some kind of grant and offers free hot breakfast and lunch Mon-Fri at each of the school sites. Sometimes we make it over there, sometimes we don't. Breakfast ends at 9:30, and we aren't always up and dressed in time. It's summer, we're taking it easy.

Next week Squig is at girl's camp, so the other two kids and I might take a field trip to a zoo or something, but I haven't decided yet. It's summer. I don't have to.
