What a great day! After 3 days of brutal heat for this time of year, including an early out 2 days ago because of it, Summer Break Day 1 was a comfortable 65ish. With the windows open and cool breezes blowing fresh air through the house, the boys were calm and the mom was calmer. We put backpacks away today with a brief retirement ceremony. Kyle's is battered and stitched while Cooper's looks brand new due to the simple fact that he didn't bring anything home until the last days of school.
Our first step toward a stress-free summer was deciding who would be in charge of the table setting and clearing each day. 3 boys cover 3 days, 1 mom covers 4 days. Huh? This might be motivation for having 7 children. We've got the table covered but the bedrooms, oh my, the bedrooms. One day at a time, right?
Thursdays are Ladies Night at Cedar Valley so I got to ditch out of my mothering duties early today. Oh, how I loooove Thursdays. The golf left a lot to be desired but the company was fantastic.
Day One Life Lesson: Stay out of the sand.
