June 1 Already

SO I've been remiss. again. in blogging. and here it is June.

The kids have just 2 more days of school--Monday and Tuesday--til they are out til mid-August. I love summer break. at least until they start arguing.

And then there will be a 7th grader, a 4th grader, a 2nd grader and a....? I don't know what yet--grader in the house. Bea has a September birthday, which is bad in Indiana, where the cut off is early.

But I want her to start kindergarten this fall, anyway, despite her not turning 5 til mid-September. that would be okay, right? she wouldn't be scarred for life, would she? she wants to go to the big kids' school, she'll be fine, I'm sure.

Hopefully. So we'll see how the summer goes.

Today she read her first "Bob" book. Mostly read it, with a little help from me. She found it hysterical when Mat sat on Sam. And Sam sat on Mat. We'll keep working on it and see how the summer goes.

I know I'm not the only one who thinks, this will be the best summer ever!, every summer. because I do. I know, cheesy. but I hold out hope, every year. and it isn't usually, or maybe it is. but they go by so quickly.

This weekend I want to make our family's 2012 Summer List. It won't probably be as cute as some I've seen on pinterest, but it will be our summer list. And hopefully, just maybe, we'll get it all done. and before the first or second week of August, when I typically realize summer's almost over and scramble to get it all finished. :-)

So we'll see how it goes. I plan to blog more, for sure, not because it's on any list anywhere, but just because I want to. So we'll see how that goes too.

Happy June!
