Summer Beginning.....

The Summer has begun. Kids are all over the place....the boredom has been taken care of. Every time I am told 'I'm bored'...the child is handed a chore. I have also implemented one hour a day of reading/napping depending on what they would rather do. I LOVE THIS! It reminds me of when they were younger and they took naps in the afternoon.Keeping up with Jon and his Tiger cub program is fun. Scott is the cub scout master and he is having a great time each month planning the pack meetings. Soon to be having a rain gutter regatta.Rebecca is having a good time playing basketball again this year. Hopefully she will like it enough to stick with it. While Scott and Jon head off to day camp for a week Rebecca and I will be in Destin, Florida with Carly and Grandma Foskey.
Removing myself from facebook has turned out to be the best thing for me. I wasted a lot of time doing nothing there. We also got rid of all but basic cable and the T.V. is only on when we watch a movie or netflix. I love not having all the commercials every few minutes. It has changed the feeling in our house for the better. Family Home Evening has become a wonderful tool....the kids think it's the best day of the week. Hearing that makes me very happy. The little things the kids say also make life hilarious!
