The last week

Here we are. We have officially started the last week of school. The morning got off to a sluggish start. You know that feeling. We've been keeping summer hours and still having a school schedule. It's killing me. The kids in the class are flat out nuts, the teachers are all but standing on their heads to keep them actually "engaged" in something.
Anyway, all of this will soon be over and then the really challenging thing will happen. I will try to keep my own children busy and relaxed at the same time. We have a pretty good schedule for this summer. So far I just have to make sure we don't get bogged down with "busy". I feel as long as the t.v. gets turned off around 9 or 10am and doesn't get turned on again till about 5 or 6pm I'll be doing alright.
I plan making pickles this summer. ( don't laugh) and hopefully the kids will want to be a part of that. My mother makes the best dill and bread and butter pickles around and it's kind of a dying art. I will let all of you know how that turns out.
Well, hopefully you will be able to do some things you've waiting to do all school year. Let me know some of the things you will be doing.
