My kids are already counting down the days until school is out. I think it’s something like 23 or maybe 19… clearly it’s not a task that’s important to me. I’m fairly confident that their countdown is motivated not by a dislike of school (my first grader said yesterday how she missed her teacher) but instead focused around lazy days without a routine. The same child that is longing for her teacher on a Saturday afternoon also thinks that the ideal day is staying in her PJ’s until night time.
When the bickering with your sister starts (day 2 of summer break) and the novelty of lounging around the house wears off (day 3) then we will head out to explore Thurston County and likely grab a week or two of summer camp.
