Summer's almost here!

School's finally wrapping up for the year. I think the only class that'll have to run through the summer is Spanish I. We need to finish it all so Adam will do well in Spanish II, and it'll set the grammar solidly for Logan even though he wants to take French I and II in high school.

I picture a summer with lots of time to swim, sleep in, rest and read. Adam may be working at Chick-Fil-A in the mornings/afternoons, Logan & Jordan want to spend most of the summer at their grandparents' house up north. I think they'll go for 3 weeks from the end of June til the middle of July, but that's about it. During those 3 weeks, I can focus on throwing/storing away stuff from their rooms, getting the house really clean, going to lunch with my friends, reading all the non-school books I've been waiting to read, and relaxing by the pool and swimming.

I'm hoping to do a trip for a few days around the end of July. With gas and money being such a problem lately, we may only get to go to a lake nearby, but at least it'll be something to do together. I also want to try to make some of the fun stuff in our Backyard Ballistics book - especially the potato canons, match rockets, and the fire kite.

For Jordan's birthday, we'll probably skip the loud party and choose another day at Abbey Gardens Tea House for her and just her closest friends (and their Moms). Last year was great, just 6 of us. This time, maybe we'll choose Tina & Britani and Stephanie & Jessica...it's up to her, we'll see.

Maybe someday we'll get to San Diego for a vacation!
