Summer Break, take two

We begun our 2nd day of summer vacation, even earlier today. The kids decided to get up at about 6:45am, at which point they begun asking what we were going to do all day. Eventually, the question changed to what time can we go outside, and continued about every 10 minutes, until finally I gave in at 9:00AM. Today was more of the same, Trampoline, forts, lots of playing in the basement, because again the 70 degree weather was just "too hot mommy". Today they decided to race the wagon down the driveway, across the street, before running into the curb. At lunchtime they enjoyed grilled cheese, watermelon and chips...which they ate as fast as possible, as to not miss a single outdoor minute. By 5:30PM, they were all in trouble for running through the neighbors sprinklers, and getting completely soaked...we ate dinner, and decided to award their "great behavior" with ice cream again....Can we say, Mommy is a sucker! There was a few more last minutes of playing outside, before everyone was in the bath and is now quietly sleeping at 9:00PM. I have forgotten how exhausting my children can be, but trust me, I wouldn't give it up for the world...every day is another memory, another page in our family storybook of life!
