Anticipating summer

Only a few more days until summer vacation… and until Austin is home full time. Jonah, Sage & I found a groove this year with Austin in school all day. I can’t say he won’t disrupt it either.

So, I’m making some plans…

First of all, to avoid the constant request for television, I plan on taping the CBC morning line-up so the boys can watch the shows after lunch while Sage naps, thus keeping our mornings tv free.

I’m also planning on encouraging lots of reading this summer, so we’re going to sign up for the reading program at the library. I also want to spend some one-on-one time with Austin, so I’m planning on putting Jonah and Sage to bed at 8 in the evenings and keeping Austin up a little later to read with him.

I’m also planning on keeping busy and having fun, with play dates, bike rides, trips to the park, the zoo and swimming lessons (which means trips to the beach.)

Here’s to a great summer of 2006!
