Summer time, summer time, sum-sum-summer time!

Checked these off my to-do list for summer prep:

• Finished writing report cards and updating curriculum maps for the school year
• Cheered as oldest son repaired, sanded, scraped, primed and painted the porch
• Planted the hanging baskets, window boxes, bedding plants, tomatoes and herbs
• Invited grandparents to preschool graduation and registered graduate for kindergarten (gasp!)
• Signed the preschooler/entering-kindergartner up for summer camp four mornings a week
• Registered and paid for family pool pass
• Bought, put together and hung the new porch swing
• Compiled a list of YA novels and teaching writing texts to check out of the library
• checked that the ice-cream maker is chilling in the freezer
• stocked up on sparklers, sunscreen, bug spray, poison ivy weed-killer and popsicles

Bring on those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!
