All the fun families are going out to do summer activities today! Pools, ice cream, etc. At least thats the vibe I get. But my kids got put to work today, hahaha! But there was good reason for it!
Our life has been pretty chaotic for the last week or so, and the house is kind of a mess because of it, haha! No big issues there, just some upkeep needed.
And then the kids brought home ALL their school stuff. Which, I’ll admit, it a bit of a nightmare I was quite determined to deal with as fast as possible rather than letting it linger all summer in a giant pile in my room.
Also, we want to go camping. So thats another thing to be busy with.
So today the jobs began! The kids got to sleep in and move slowly to get breakfast going, but after that, they got it with the full understanding of the goals we were working towards!
Rowan went through all the school markers to pitch all the dried up ones. Solly sharpened all the pencils and pencil crayons.
Once those things were done, they loaded them into a nice little shelf I got to bring to camp! Its nice to finally have a plan for ALL that extra craft stuff!
Dekker and Laela got into dishes, and then packing, and a few other jobs they had.
Wavy put away the kids laundry that my mom did this week 💜 Such an amazing gift you gave us, mom. Thank you!
Beyond these things, they all started packing. Taking apart old duotangs to reuse next year. Buzzing heads. Baths. Its not over yet, but we took a good bite out of the job list!
I hope you all have a beautiful long weekend 💜
