Serenity Now: I love Summer

I love Summer

Summer is finally here and I can't believe the weather is finally cooperating... the rain a thing of the past.

Each morning we have a regular routine of getting dressed, having breakfast, cleaning our rooms, reading for 20 minutes and doing some kind of schoolwork activity whether math or writing related (Sheriff has piano practice every 3rd day) and the two older boys do something from their cubscout books. Once all this is complete then they can go off and play.

I have been trying though to have some kind of summer activity planned almost everyday whether it is going to the library and choosing books (we signed up for the summer reading program to get a free book at the end of the summer if you complete the program - even adults get a free book!),

taking tennis lessons,

or going to the county fair,

bowling with our free passes from school,

or playing at our local park that has a splash pad.

We still have lots of fun things planned because it is going to be a long summer!

Robin's Rules

An old friend of mine called into question why the name robinsrules in my html (actually he called me a geek). I suppose I should explain. He read it as Robin rules versus Robin's rules and I merely omitted the apostrophe when creating the html. There are certain rules that make me happy like ...

1. keep my husband close by because he makes me laugh even when I don't feel like it, ( and if he can't - call my sisters)

2. pay attention to nature because it helps me be peaceful,

3. always remember to pray and be grateful because then I'm nicer to my kids (and they'll thank me for it!)

4. take lots of pictures of my boys because when I look at their pictures I more easily forgive them when they break the t.v., take pizza from the fridge in the middle of the night, punch or bite each other, or hide chocolate bars and other candy under the couches to eat later - true stories - Serenity now.
